Re: Expansion of Indian Navy
Indian Navy is the naval branch of the Indian Armed Forces. The President of India serves as Supreme Commander of the Indian Navy As you asking here I am telling Indian Navy has been focusing on developing indigenous platforms, systems, sensors and weapons as part of the nation's modernisation and expansion of its maritime forces. As of 2014 the Indian Navy has 41 vessels of various types under construction, including an aircraft carrier; destroyers; frigates; corvettes; and conventional-powered and nuclear-powered submarines. Indian Navy profile: Active 1830–Present Country India Type Navy Size 79,023 active personnel 295 ships & 251 aircraft Part of Indian Armed Forces,(Ministry of Defence, Government of India) Headquarters New Delhi Motto(s) शं नो वरुणः (Sanskrit) IAST: Shaṃ No Varunaḥ (May the Lord of the Water be auspicious unto us) Colours Navy Blue, White March Jai Bharati Fleet 1 aircraft carriers 1 amphibious transport dock 8 landing ship tanks 11 destroyers 14 frigates 23 corvettes 6 mine countermeasure vessels 15 submarines 29 patrol vessels 4 replenishment oilers Engagements Commanders Chief of Naval Staff (CNS) Admiral Sunil Lanba, AVSM, SM, ADC Vice Chief of Naval Staff Vice Admiral Karambir Singh, AVSM Notable commanders Admiral S.
