== History ==
INS ''Taragiri'' was the final ship of the ''Nilgiri'' class, and was named after a hill range in the [[Garhwal Himalaya]]. Cdr. Rahul Shankar was the 27th and last commanding officer of the frigate. Along with {{INS|Vindhyagiri|F42|6}}, she was significantly modified. A [[Westland Sea King]] anti-submarine helicopter, A244S 321&nbsp;mm triple torpedo tubes and a twin-tube launcher for [[Bofors 375mm anti submarine rockets]] were added. Later, she was also fitted with advanced ship control systems for controlling [[unmanned aerial vehicles]]. These modifications gave the ship enhanced anti-submarine and network-centric warfare capabilities. She was operational under the [[Western Naval Fleet]] of the navy and performed surveillance missions when on blue water operations, and later performed coastal patrolling and anti-piracy operations.<ref name=bs />
