Navy Day 2025: President Murmu to lead the celebrations
Get ready for Navy Day on December 3!
President Droupadi Murmu will be front and center as the Indian Navy shows off its strength, marking the anniversary of the Indian Navy's attack on Karachi Harbour during Operation Trident in the 1971 war.
The day is all about honoring the courage and dedication of naval personnel, past and present.
What's happening this year (2025)?
Expect a major display: 19 warships—including INS Vikrant—a submarine, and four fast boats will line up alongside 32 aircraft, from fighters to surveillance planes.
Vice Admiral Sameer Saxena shared that the Navy's been busy lately too, handling over 30 incidents in the Western Arabian Sea with more than 35 ships, carrying out over 1,000 boardings, and saving upwards of 520 lives—showing just how prepared they are for anything at sea.
