India by virtue of its unique geography having coastlines, vast innumerable islands and the Indian Ocean forming its 'strategic backyard' is steadily emerging as a major maritime power of the 21st century.
To fortify the country's maritime front and secure its strategic waterways, the Indian Navy has embarked on an ambitious modernisation drive.
