INDIAN
NAVY DAY :: Dream Of Chattrapati Maharaj Shivali Comes True
Navy Day in India
One of the most reverred Defense Force and it is one of the best
that guards the Indian territory expediting their duty from the water , maybe
the Ocean, Sea or otherwise the Indian Navy has so far so long come a great big
way to the succor of the defense of India and the Navy in the war against
Pakistan in 1965, and especially in 1971 when they bombarded the Karachi Port
to completety make it ineffective for either Pakistan to receive any goods from
abroad or to send anything abroad went in a long way to earmark the Indian
victory though the other two unit of the Indian Dfense, the Army and the Air
Force did play their major role in it.
Indian
Navy :: Established at the appropriate time
On 15
August 1947, Rear Admiral JTS Hall, RIN,
was appointed as India's first Flag Officer Commanding Royal Indian Navy. With
India becoming a Republic on 26 January 1950, the prefix 'Roya l' was dropped and it was rechristened
as the Indian Navy.
Navy day in India is observed on 4th of December
every year to celebrate the magnificence, and the MAGNIFICIENT , achievements
and role of the naval force to the country. Indian Navy is the
marine branch (means naval branch) of the India’s armed forces which led by the
President of India as a Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Navy.
Chattrapati
Shivaji Maharaj :: Father Of Indian Navy
The Maratha emperor, Chhatarpati Shivaji Bhosle of the 17th
century is considered as “ Father of the Indian Navy ”. He was the one who then
when Aurangazeb who wabted to completely take over the South Of India through
Maharashtra was interrupted by Shivaji Maharaj who did it by putting the
cannons on the boat and allowing the boats to flow on the entire river at
various places from where it was
envisaged that the Mughal Army can cross into Maharashtra and from there would
move forward to South to establish it’s rule and it’s supremacy. This was the tactics
which Shivaji Maharj adopted to prevent the entire of India
to go under the domain of the
Mughals.
Thus it was the FIRST real experiment to demonstrate the power
of the SHIVAJI-NAUSENA that they called it then and from here the concept of
the Naval power and it’s importance had come to the beings to add it to the
flexing arms of the defense in any part of the World and thus came the concept
and the adaptation of the Indian Navy
here at India.
Role
Of The Indian Navy
Navy of the India plays a great role in securing the marine
borders of the country as well as enhancing the international relations of
India through many ways like seaport visits, joint exercises, humanitarian
missions, calamity relief and etc. Modern Indian navy has as undergone
speedy renovation in order to improve the position of navy to the Indian Ocean
region.
The
Strength Of The Indian Navy
The Indian Navy has gone from the STRENGTH to the STRENGTH
and it is considered to be ONE-OF-THE-FOUR-POWERFUL- NAVAL - STRENGTH of the WORLD. It is NOT
possible and one should NOT and NEVER declare the strength of these kind of the
NATIONAL ASSET without the permission and I would NOT do it here. However and whatever the kind of statistics that have
been declared by the various news agencies , for which they ought to be
responsible for publishing it, the real strength of the Indian Navy is much
more than what the various news agaencies have so far published as India has
added many and many fleets to it’s arm, but
according to an agency
report which ofcourse is a old record, very old if we compare it to the real
strength, the report, the strength of the Indian Navy includes of 58,350
personnel, an aircraft carrier, a big transport dock, 15 frigates, 8 guided
missile destroyers, 24 corvettes, 13 conventional submarines, 1 nuclear attack
submarine, 30 patrol vessels, 7 mine countermeasure vessels including variety
of auxiliary ships.
Navy
Day 2020 and it’s celebration
Navy Day 2020 in India would be celebrated at Friday , on 4th of
December.
India would celebrate the 46th anniversary of the Indian navy this year (2020)
on 4th of December in order to remember the daredevil attack
on the naval base of Pakistan, at Karachi. In order to celebrate this occasion,
the Western Naval Command of the Indian navy (headquarter is Mumbai) bring
their ships and sailors for making the celebration excellent.
All the activities which to be conducted on the celebration of
the event are planned by the Eastern Naval Command at Visakhapatnam. Wreath
laying ceremony is held at the war memorial (at RK Beach) followed by the
operational demonstration to show the potential and resourcefulness of the
naval submarines, ships, aircrafts and unique forces. Various aircrafts are
shown by flying over the RK Beach that’s why people are requested by the
authorities to keep the beach clean and litter free (avoid throwing food items)
to keep away the birds in that particular area for smooth demonstration of the
aircraft (as presence of birds in the sky because of food items may cause
hazards to the aircraft).
Why
Navy Day is Celebrated
Navy Day in India is celebrated to commemorate the courageous
attack on the Karachi harbor during the Indo-Pakistan war (at 4th of December
in the year 1971) by the Indian Naval Missile boats as well as to reverence all
the martyrs of that war. It is celebrated using a particular theme (like “Safe
Seas and Secure Coasts for a strong Nation”) of the year for making it more
powerful and potent.
A community service for the Navy of India is conducted by the
Naval Institute of Aeronautical Technology (NIAT) from 24th of November to the 26th of November at Good Hope Old
Age Home, Fort Kochi in which the students from the Navy Children School Chair
take parts to entertain the inmates and Naval doctors (from INHS Sanjivani)
provides medical checkup to the inmates. Navy Ball, Navy Queen contests
including the Navy fest are held to celebrate the Navy Day.
At this day the warships and aircrafts of the Indian naval are
open to the visitors such as school children. The Military Photo Exhibition is
also performed by photojournalists of the Ernakulum in the Navy fest.
Themes

Navy day every year are different and based on the themes are the functions
that are celebrated . The examples of some of the themes which I know and which
