The '''''Komandarm Fedko'' class''' is a class of [[Replenishment oiler|replenishment tankers]] operated by the [[Indian Navy|Indian]] and [[People's Liberation Army Navy|Chinese navies]]. Four ships of the ''Komandarm Fedko'' class were constructed by the Soviet Union, later Russia, of which one was bought by India, one by China and two are in commercial service. INS ''Jyoti'' (meaning "light") is the third largest ship in the Indian Navy after the aircraft carriers [[INS Vikrant (2013)|INS Vikrant]] and [[INS Vikramaditya]].

== History ==
{{INS|Jyoti|A58|6}} was constructed by the [[Admiralty Shipyard]] of [[St. Petersburg]], Russia. It was built to be a Project 15966M merchant tanker, but was modified and purchased by the Indian Navy, and commissioned on 20 July 1996. The ship was based at [[Bombay]], where it arrived in November 2006. It is deployed as a major force multiplier in sustaining the navy's blue water operations. It can increase the range of a naval task force without tanker support from seven days and {{convert|2400|nmi|lk=in}} to 50 days and {{convert|16,800|nmi}}.<ref name=br1f>{{cite web|title=INS Jyoti|url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/NAVY/Ships/Active/162-INS-Jyothi.html|publisher=Bharat Rakshak|access-date=1 February 2013}}</ref><ref name=gs1f>{{cite web|title=A58 Jyoti|url=http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india/jyoti.htm|publisher=Global Security|access-date=1 February 2013}}</ref><ref name=thin28oct1>{{cite news|title=INS Jyoti's fire power to be enhanced|url=http://hindu.com/2000/10/28/stories/0228000f.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130206125442/http://hindu.com/2000/10/28/stories/0228000f.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 February 2013|access-date=1 February 2013|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|date=28 October 2000}}</ref><ref name=is1f>{{cite web|last=Rai (Retd)|first=Cmde Ranji|title=Indian Navy's Aircraft Carriers and other Programmes|url=http://www.indiastrategic.in/topstories41.htm|publisher=India Strategic|access-date=1 February 2013}}</ref> INS ''Jyoti'' visited [[Shanghai]] in 2003,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200311/14/eng20031114_128300.shtml|title=Indian warships wind up Shanghai visit|date=14 November 2003|work=[[People's Daily]]|access-date=15 July 2011}}</ref> and participated in exercises by the Indian and Singapore navies in 2010.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article381831.ece|title=India-Singapore naval exercises begin today|date=3 April 2010|work=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=15 July 2011}}</ref><ref name=inpd>{{cite web|title=Operational Deployment of Eastern Fleet 2011|url=http://www.indiannavy.gov.in/node/1424|work=Past Deployments|publisher=Indian Navy|access-date=1 February 2013|archive-date=8 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160808115243/http://www.indiannavy.gov.in/node/1424|url-status=dead}}</ref>
