India marks Navy Day on December 4 to honor Operation Trident

India celebrates Navy Day on December 4 each year to honor the success of Operation Trident, a naval offensive from 1971 that significantly damaged Pakistan's Karachi Harbor during the war. This operation showcased the Indian Navy's capabilities and earned several gallantry awards. Since 1972, Navy Day has recognized the Indian Navy's role in national security. Today, the Navy is a modern maritime force with advanced ships and submarines, protecting India's extensive coastline and Exclusive Economic Zone. The Indian Navy also enhances diplomatic relations through joint exercises and plays a vital role in humanitarian missions during disasters. Navy Day serves as a reminder of the Navy's legacy and commitment to service.
