INS Rana (lit. 'King') is a Rajput-class destroyer in active service with the Indian Navy. She was commissioned on 28 June 1982.
She was the only ship of her class which was not upgraded like the other two ships, which had been upgraded with Israeli Barak 1 missiles and EL/M-2238 STAR radars. An upgrade in 2022 armed her with new short range SAM VL-SRSAM in 8 × 2 cell VLS configuration replacing one S-125 Neva/Pechora launcher in the Aft. It was also seen with 4 panels of AESA radar as fire-control radar.
