Navy Day Celebrations In India
People visit INS Savitri, an Offshore Patrol Vessel of the Eastern Naval Command, on the first day of Navy Day celebrations at Kidderpore Dock in Kolkata, India, on November 24, 2024. INS Savitri stands as a testament to India's indigenous shipbuilding capability. With a top speed of 15 knots (30 km/h), the ship features a 40x60 Bofors Gun and a helicopter deck capable of operating the Chetak helicopter. Commanded by Commander Vijay Jha, the ship plays a vital role in coastal and maritime security. Navy Day highlights the Indian Navy's commitment to safeguarding the nation's maritime interests, commemorating the victory of the Indian Navy during the 1971 Indo-Pak war and underscoring its role in ensuring peace, prosperity, and security along India's vast coastline. To connect with citizens and promote awareness about the Navy's contributions, the ship is open to visitors, offering an opportunity to explore its facilities, interact with the crew, and understand the Navy's operational capabilities.
