The 2009 edition of the SIMBEX Series of annual bilateral naval exercises between the Indian Navy (IN) and the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN), commenced in the Andaman Sea on 24 Mar 09. As a part of this exercise units will also exercise in the South China Sea until 02 April 2009.
SIMBEX is an acronym for Singapore India Maritime Bilateral Exercise. It stands upon an enduring foundation of bilateral naval cooperation that was formalised a decade-and-a-half ago, when RSN ships began training in Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) with the Indian Navy, in 1994. Over the years, the exercises have reflected the growth in strength, capability, and mutual-confidence of both navies
