Team work will restore the pride of Indian Navy: Robin K Dhowan
VISAKHAPATNAM: The new chief of the Indian Navy, Admiral Robin K Dhowan, on Wednesday said that effective team work, diligent training and strict adherence to procedures would restore the pride and prestige of the Indian Navy.
While ruing that the recent unfortunate incidents had dented the Navy's image, he urged all the officers and personnel to work together with commitment, compassion, credibility and integrity to take the Indian Navy to greater heights.
Dhowan, who was on his maiden visit to the Eastern Naval Command (ENC) after taking over as the new chief of Naval staff, reviewed a ceremonial parade held at INS Circars parade ground here on Wednesday. He inspected a 50-man armed guard and reviewed the platoons of Naval and DSC personnel drawn from various ships and establishment of the command. He stressed on the importance of the division system in improving the quality of life and environment.
Addressing sailors, the Navy chief said it was their responsibility to ensure that India's maritime interests were pursued unhindered, both in peace time and in war. "This necessitates a multi-dimensional, combat-ready force, and the ENC, with operations spread across the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean, is undertaking this task admirably." Over the last two years, ENC has acquired three Shivalik class stealth frigates, P-8I Long Range Maritime Patrol and Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft, Hawk Advanced Jet Trainers, nuclear attack submarine INS Chakra and a number of Fast Interceptor Craft.
Speaking to mediapersons, Dhowan, who has commanded the Eastern Fleet as Flag Officer Commanding and also served as the Chief of Staff at ENC headquarters here, said that the nuclear submarine Arihant will be put on sea trials very shortly. He said that the first of four indigenous anti-submarine warfare Corvettes under the P28 project, being built at GRSE, Kolkata, will be joining the Eastern Fleet in the near future.
On aircraft carrier Vikramaditya, he said it is fully operational and MIG-29 aircraft have arrived, with the first batch of the Indian pilots completing training.
