Navy Day 2025 To Be Celebrated In Thiruvananthapuram, Mega Event Planned Post-Op Sindoor
Last Updated: The celebration is expected to feature grand operational demonstrations and public outreach programs along Thiruvananthapuram's Arabian Sea coastline. The Indian Navy will celebrate Navy Day 2025 in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital city of Kerala, located along the Arabian Sea. This venue was chosen after thorough deliberation, aligning with the government's initiative to hold key national events across various regions of the country, defense sources told CNN News 18. Navy Day, observed annually on December 4, commemorates the heroics of Operation Trident during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. On that day, Indian Navy missile boats launched a decisive attack on Karachi harbor, sinking four Pakistani vessels, including the formidable PNS Khaibar. The operation, which resulted in no Indian losses, is etched in history for its precision and impact on the course of the conflict. This year's selection of Thiruvananthapuram aligns with the broader vision of spreading national commemorations beyond traditional hubs. In 2024, Navy Day was hosted in Puri, Odisha—a shift from previous years when celebrations were primarily held in naval strongholds like Mumbai and Visakhapatnam. This Navy Day event gains further prominence as it follows Operation Sindoor, during which the Indian Navy maintained peak readiness for potential offensive actions in the Arabian Sea. While the Indian Army and Air Force undertook kinetic actions, the Navy played a pivotal strategic and deterrence role. The Navy, including its aircraft carrier battle group (INS Vikrant), deployed over 35 ships, submarines, maritime patrol aircraft, and airborne early warning aircraft to the Arabian Sea. These deployments effectively confined Pakistan's naval assets to their home ports, particularly Karachi, preventing them from challenging Indian dominance at sea or supporting escalation. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
