HMIS Orissa (J200) was a {{sclass-|Bangor|minesweeper}}s built for the Royal Navy, but transferred to the Royal Indian Navy (RIN) during the Second World War. Design and descriptionThe Bangor class was designed as a small minesweeper that could be easily built in large numbers by civilian shipyards; as steam turbines were difficult to manufacture, the ships were designed to accept a wide variety of engines. Orissa displaced {{convert|673|LT|t}} at standard load and {{convert|860|LT|t}} at deep load. The ship had an overall length of {{convert|189|ft|m|1}}, a beam of {{convert|28|ft|6|in|m|1}} and a draught of {{convert|10|ft|6|in|m|1}}.[1] The ship's complement consisted of 60 officers and ratings.[2] She was powered by two vertical triple-expansion steam engines (VTE), each driving one shaft, using steam provided by two Admiralty three-drum boilers. The engines produced a total of {{convert|2400|shp|lk=in}} and gave a maximum speed of {{convert|16|kn|lk=in}}. The ship carried a maximum of {{convert|160|LT|t|0}} of fuel oil that gave her a range of {{convert|2800|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|10|kn}}.[3] The VTE-powered Bangors were armed with a {{convert|3|in|mm|adj=on}} anti-aircraft gun and a single QF 2-pounder (4 cm) AA gun or a quadruple mount for the Vickers .50 machine gun. In some ships the 2-pounder was replaced a single or twin 20 mm Oerlikon AA gun, while most ships were fitted with four additional single Oerlikon mounts over the course of the war.[3] For escort work, their minesweeping gear could be exchanged for around 40 depth charges.[2] Construction and careerHMIS Orissa was ordered from Lobnitz & Co. originally for the Royal Navy as HMS Clydebank in 1940. However, before she was launched, she was transferred to the Royal Indian Navy and eventually commissioned as Orissa.[4] The ship was a part of the Eastern Fleet, and escorted numerous convoys between Africa, British India and Australia in 1943-45.[5][6][7] On 11 June 1942, Orissa rescued 20 surviving crew of British tanker Geo H. Jones which had been torpedoed and sunk by {{GS|U-455}}, northeast of the Azores in position {{coord|45|40|N|22|40|W|display=inline, title}}. On 22 February 1944, Orissa with HMAS Tamworth rescued the surviving crew of the American tanker E.G. Seubert which was torpedoed and sunk by {{GS|U-510||2}} about 200 nautical miles east of Aden in position {{coord|13|50|N|48|49|E|display=inline}}.
