On December 4, 2014 Navy Day, a salute to the nation’s seafarers

4 December is Indian Navy Day 2014.

 
To all the fellow sea-farers out there,

“Happy Navy Day ! May all seafarers always have fair weather, following seas, and many a fathom under the keel.”

A salute to those dedicated souls who tirelessly guard our waters and securing our passages through their watches. I feel immensely proud to have been a part of the traditions of one of the most powerful Naval forces on this planet.
 
According to the Wiki, ” As of 2014, the Indian Navy has a strength of 58,350 personnel and a large operational fleet consisting of two aircraft carriers, one amphibious transport dock, 9 Landing ship tanks, 9 destroyers, 15 frigates, one nuclear-powered attack submarine, 14 conventionally-powered attack submarines, 25 corvettes, 7 mine countermeasure vessels, 47 patrol vessels, 4 fleet tankers and various auxiliary vessels.”
