The Hindu : News / National : Indian warships on goodwill visit to Africa
Four Indian warships - INS Mysore, INS Tabar, INS Ganga and INS Aditya - have been deployed on a goodwill visit to several maritime nations of Africa and the Indian Ocean.
The warships will hold naval exercises with the navies and coast guards of Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Seychelles and Mauritius besides making port calls at Reunion Island and Mozambique, a defence spokesperson said.
Wide-ranging professional discussions and a number of sports and social engagements will take place with the host navies while in harbour, and it will be followed up with naval exercises, he said.
The visit will also include the biennial naval exercise IBSAMAR among the navies of India, Brazil and South Africa.
The naval exercises are meant to promote greater inter-operability and foster synergy between the Indian Navy and other participating navies.
The Indian Navy has already been conducting formal exercises annually with several foreign navies since several years, such as the Varuna series with the French Navy, the Indra series with the Russian Navy and the Konkan series with the U.K.s Royal Navy.
The professional skills and experiences exchanged during these interactions would go a long way in enhancing cooperation and understanding the nuances of naval operations, as well as disaster management and combating maritime threats of terrorism and piracy, he said.
The visit also seeks to demonstrate the Indian Navys blue water capability to deploy, operate and sustain a maritime task force well away from home for an extended duration.
The current interaction will feature advanced aspects of naval warfare, including anti-air, anti-surface and anti-submarine operations.
The visiting ships are part of the Navys Western Fleet under the Western Naval Command based at Mumbai.
The Task Group is headed by Rear Admiral R.K. Pattanaik, Flag Officer Commanding Western Fleet.
Over the decades, India has made substantial advances in terms of designing and building warships indigenously, the spokesperson said.
Three of these four ships have been designed by the Design Bureau of the Indian Navy and built at the public sector shipyards the Mazagon Dockyard (Mumbai) and the Garden Reach Ship Builders and Engineers (Kolkata).
Destroyer INS Mysore and frigates INS Tabar and INS Ganga are equipped with state-of-the-art weapons and sensors, while replenishment ship INS Aditya is capable of sustaining the warships for prolonged durations at sea.
Indias naval assets have been increasingly involved in the regions maritime issues, such as hydrographic survey, search and rescue, anti-piracy operations and also in providing humanitarian assistance.

India, Brazil, South Africa warships begin maritime exercise in Durban - India - DNA
Indian warships today began a trilateral exercise with the navies of Brazil and South Africa in Durban off the African coast as part of their efforts to build inter-operability in carrying out maritime operations.
Four warships including a destroyer and two frigates from the Navy's Western Fleet are participating in the biennial India-Brazil-South Africa Maritime (IBSAMAR) exercise, which would focus on visit-board-search-seize, anti-air and anti-submarine operations, apart from naval warfare manoeuvres such as fuelling in mid sea.
The exercise comes in the middle of a two-month long deployment of the Indian warships off the African coast when they also sail to Mauritius and Seychelles for carrying out anti-piracy patrols and visit ports in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and South Africa.
A Navy officer said here that the deployment would provide the Indian Navy "good opportunity to re-establish and further relations" with the navies of the African continent in areas of training and passage exercises.
"The exercise is to develop interoperability among the three navies so that they could carry out joint operations during times of need in the high seas," the officer said.
Indian naval destroyer INS Mysore, frigates INS Tabar and INS Ganga along with tanker INS Aditya have joined IBSAMAR exercise. Brazil is participating with its warships, while South Africa has brought their submarines.
"This is the second edition of IBSAMAR. The first edition was held in 2008. This year's exercise is a much more complex than the previous one," the officer said.
This time there would be no aerial fleet of the Indian Navy participating in the IBSAMAR exercise, though South Africa was bringing in their aircraft, he added.
IBSAMAR is being held around the South African coast and there would be visits to Durban, Cape Town, Simon's Town and Port Elizabeth as part of the exercise.
India is the lead Navy for this edition of IBSAMAR and Brazil will take upon the role in the next edition to be held in 2012.

Indian military officers train with 31st MEU
USS ESSEX, AT SEA (Oct. 5, 2010) — Fourteen service members from the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy boarded the ships of the Essex Amphibious Ready Group, Sept. 28, to work alongside Marines of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and Sailors with Amphibious Squadron 11 during exercise Habu Nag 2010.
Indian officers came to observe Navy and Marine Corps amphibious training off the coast of Okinawa and participate in a tabletop planning exercise.
“India and the United States share seafaring traditions,” said Col. Andrew MacMannis, commanding officer, 31st MEU. “We consider them partners and friends, and we strengthen the bonds between our militaries with this training.”
Habu Nag ’10 is the 5th annual, bilateral amphibious training exercise between India and the United States, designed to increase interoperability during amphibious operations, including mock humanitarian assistance/disaster relief operations and mechanized raids.
“We specialize in amphibious operations and work with the U.S. Navy several times a year, but this time we are getting so much more information because of the opportunity to see how the Marines train,” said Col. Manoj Tiwari, amphibious operations coordinator with the Indian Army. “Interoperability developed by exercises such as these enable our forces to better work together in real-world efforts.”
Although Habu Nag is an annual exercise, this is the first time the Indian military had the chance to work alongside Marines in this situation.
