In brief
INS Tir (A86) (Hindi: Arrow) is the first dedicated cadets training ship to be built by Mazagon Dock Limited and commissioned as such by the Indian Navy. She is the senior ship of the 1st Training Squadron of the Southern Naval Command.
INS Tir was commissioned on 21 February 1986. Sensors on board Tir include Decca Radar and a SATNAV (Satellite Navigation) system. She can carry up to 293 people on board, though her typical deployment is with 20 instructors and staff and 120 cadets.
INS Tir is named after HMIS Tir, a River-class frigate of the Royal Indian Navy, earlier transferred from the Royal Navy where she served in World War II as HMS Bann (K256).

In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 2,941 gross tons, INS Tir is the 52,467th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 2.0 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 58,086 vessels this registry holds no type classification for held here, it ranks 29,811th by tonnage — larger than 40% of that group. Their median tonnage is 5,358 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 54,309 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Panama (5,698 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is HD Hyundai Mipo, with 615 hulls on record.
India is the country of registry for 968 vessels in this directory, of which INS Tir is the 501st largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (514 ships), and the median vessel measures 3,306 GT. Browse every ship flagged India.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 514 vessels this registry holds no type classification for flying the India flag, of which 305 are larger by tonnage.
INS Tir was built in 1986, making it 40 years old. It is one of 866 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 4,769 GT; within it this ship is the 479th largest. Across the whole of the 1980s the registry holds 13,213 vessels, median 3,004 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 5 vessels to Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, with a median tonnage of 2,111 GT, delivered between 1978 and 2000. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 105.9 m overall, INS Tir is 9.1 m shorter than the 115.0 m median for vessels this registry holds no type classification for on record, with a beam of 13.2 m and a draft of 4.8 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 8102191 this registry holds 46 other vessels, whose median build year is 1982 and which range from 1981 to 1988. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 1986.
Its IMO number, 8102191, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 8×7 + 1×6 + 0×5 + 2×4 + 1×3 + 9×2 = 91 — and the last digit of that total, 1, must equal the seventh digit, 1. It does, so this number is well formed.
