Indian Navy And Indian Ocean
I want to know name of navy which is the most powerful in the Indian Ocean, so can you tell me for my GK ? As you are asking as far as Power is concerned, it is absolutely sure, that Indian Navy is the most powerful here. First of all, the surrounding seas are 70% Indian Waters, thanks to our 7500 km long coast line, and the Lakshwadeep and Andaman Nicobar Islands which increase our water territories exponentially due to their unique positions. Indian Navy is the naval branch of the Indian Armed Forces Type Navy Size 58,350 active personnel 295 ships & 251 aircrafts Part of Indian Armed Forces,(Ministry of Defence, Government of India) Headquarters New Delhi Motto(s) शं नो वरुणः (Sanskrit) IAST: Shaṃ No Varuṇaḥ Colours Navy Blue, White March Jai Bharati Fleet 2 aircraft carriers 1 amphibious transport dock 9 landing ship tanks 10 destroyers 14 frigates 24 corvettes 6 mine countermeasure vessels 14 submarines 25 patrol vessels 4 replenishment oilers Engagements First Opium War Second Opium War World War I World War II Portuguese-Indian War Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 Bangladesh Liberation War Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 Anti-piracy operations in Somalia 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.
