India’s sea-borne aircraft carrier INS Viraat has re-joined duties on the western sea front facing Pakistan. Navy chief Admiral Nirmal Verma will go onboard the Viraat as part of his visit to Mumbai to review the coastal security preparedness of the force.
As part of his three-day visit to the western naval command beginning tomorrow, Verma would sail on the flagship Viraat during a coastal security exercise that the western fleet of the Navy would carry out in the Arabian Sea to review the apparatus put in after the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. “The Navy chief will witness fleet exercises, gun and missile firings by ships and aircraft operations onboard INS Viraat, which has rejoined the fleet after an extensive maintenance period, during the ship sortie off Mumbai,” Navy officials said here yesterday. — TNS
