जलमेव यस्य, बलमेव तस्य’
“The one who controls the sea is all powerful”
On December 4, 2023, the Indian Navy will showcase its operational strength and skills at the famous Sindhudurg Fort on the country’s western coast with a “Operational Demonstration” that includes a variety of naval activities by the ships and planes. Senior officials from the Centre and State governments, military dignitaries, and the local population will be able to witness the event from the Tarkarli beach, which is being hosted by Admiral R Hari Kumar, Chief of the Naval Staff. The occasion seeks to honor and commemorate our rich maritime heritage while putting an end to colonial traditions.
Constructed by Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1660, the Sindhudurg Fort is a testament to India’s illustrious nautical past and satisfies the Navy’s need for an operational display using its front-line resources.
On December 4th, the Indian Navy observes Navy Day to honor “Operation Trident,” the Navy’s daring strike on Karachi Harbor during the 1971 War. The purpose of the operation demo is to honor the personnel’s bravery, chivalry, and determination to overcome great obstacles. Through a live transmission, the event will also provide the general public and internet spectators with a glimpse of the Indian Navy’s cutting-edge ships and planes.
Twenty warships and forty aircraft, including MiG 29Ks and LCA Navy, will be present at the event. The Marine Commandos of the Indian Navy will also perform a combat beach reconnaissance and assault demonstration. The other major attractions include performance by the Naval Band, continuity drill and horn pipe dance by the SCC cadets. The event will culminate with illumination of ships at anchorage followed by laser show at Sindhudurg Fort.
For the first time, the Indian Navy is planning a large-scale event that won’t be held at a significant naval post. The Sindhudurg Fort is situated roughly 135 miles from the Goa naval station and 550 km from Mumbai. The Navy, the State Government, and the local government have worked extremely hard to highlight these occurrences.
The goals of Navy Day events are to increase public awareness, rekindle American citizens’ interest in the sea, and underscore the Navy’s contributions to national security.
I was just looking for this info for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this kind of informative web sites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.
