Indian Navy in the Arabian Sea
The western coast witnessed eight submarines operating together in a recently concluded exercise in the Arabian Sea, demonstrating their high levels of operational readiness, officials said on Monday.
In a post on X, the Western Naval Command said, Vice Admiral Sanjay J. Singh embarked the units at sea and reviewed the conduct of the exercise. He congratulated the pack for their professionalism and splendid conduct.
“As part of the demonstration, the vice admiral also witnessed the bottom of the submarine and tasted the sea water according to the tradition of submariners,” the message added.
Addressing the media on Saturday on the completion of hundred days of naval operations against anti-drone, anti-missile and anti-piracy operations in the Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea and Red Sea, Navy Chief Admiral Hari Kumar said that the Navy will continue to take affirmative measures to prevent these types of incidents.
“Piracy has re-emerged as an industry that benefits from disorder in the region. We will take affirmative measures to prevent it,” the Navy chief said.
“Operation Sankalp has broken the myth of short and quick operations and has underlined the need for sustained operations to ensure security and stability in the oceans. The tempo of operations is quite high and we have 11 submarines and 30 warships operating in different parts of the ocean to ensure coverage of all areas of interest,” Kumar added.
