The\u00a0President of India\u00a0is the Supreme Commander of the Indian Navy. The\u00a0Chief of Naval Staff, a\u00a0four-star\u00a0admiral, commands the navy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Indian Navy traces its origins back to the\u00a0East India Company&#8217;s Marine\u00a0which was founded in 1612 to protect British merchant shipping in the region. In 1793, the British\u00a0East India Company\u00a0established its rule over eastern part of the\u00a0Indian subcontinent\u00a0i.e. Bengal, but it was not until 1830 that the colonial navy was titled as\u00a0His Majesty&#8217;s Indian Navy. When\u00a0India became a republic\u00a0in 1950, the\u00a0Royal Indian Navy\u00a0as it had been named since 1934 was renamed to\u00a0Indian Navy.<\/p>\n<p>The primary objective of the navy is to safeguard the nation&#8217;s maritime borders, and in conjunction with other Armed Forces of the union, act to deter or defeat any threats or aggression against the territory, people or maritime interests of India, both in war and peace. Through joint exercises, goodwill visits and humanitarian missions, including disaster relief, Indian Navy promotes bilateral relations between nations.<\/p>\n<p>While the\u00a0President of India\u00a0serves as the Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces, the organizational structure of Indian Navy is headed by the\u00a0Chief of Naval Staff\u00a0(CNS), who holds the rank of\u00a0Admiral.\u00a0While the provision for the rank of\u00a0Admiral of the Fleet\u00a0exists, it is primarily intended for major wartime use and honour. No officer of the Indian Navy has yet been conferred this rank.\u00a0The CNS is assisted by the Vice Chief of Naval Staff (VCNS), a Vice-Admiral; the CNS also heads the Integrated Headquarters (IHQ) of the Ministry of Defence (Navy), based in New Delhi. The Deputy Chief of Naval Staff (DCNS), a Vice-Admiral, is a Principal Staff Officer, along with the Chief of Personnel (COP) and the Chief of Materiel (COM), both of whom are also vice-admirals.\u00a0The Director General Medical Services (Navy) is a Surgeon Vice-Admiral, heads the medical services of the Indian Navy.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian Navy operates three operational\u00a0Commands. Each Command is headed by a\u00a0Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief\u00a0of the rank of Vice-Admiral.\u00a0The Eastern and Western Commands each have a Fleet commanded by a Rear Admiral, and each also have a Commodore commanding submarines.\u00a0The Southern Naval Command is home to the Flag Officer Sea Training.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the\u00a0Andaman and Nicobar Command\u00a0is a unified Indian Navy,\u00a0Indian Army,\u00a0Indian Air Force, and\u00a0Indian Coast Guard\u00a0theater command\u00a0based at the capital,\u00a0Port Blair.\u00a0Commander in Chief Andaman and Nicobar (CINCAN) receives staff support from, and reports directly to the chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee (COSC) in New Delhi.

Shivaji was born in the hill-fort of Shivneri, near the city of Junnar in Pune district of Maharastra on or 19 February 1630. Shivaji demonstrated great skill in creating his military organisation .He built a strong naval presence across the coast of Konkan and Goa to protect sea trade. The navy under Shivaji was so strong that the Marathas\u00a0coule hold their against the\u00a0British,\u00a0Portuguese\u00a0and\u00a0Dutch.\u00a0Shivaji realised the importance of having a secure coastline and protecting the western\u00a0Konkan\u00a0coastline from the attacks of Siddi\u2019s fleet.\u00a0\u00a0His strategy was to build a strong navy to protect and bolster his kingdom.<\/li>\n<li>In 1664-67 AD, Shivaji develops a new Fort. The main object was to counter rising influence of foreign colonizers (The English, Dutch, French and Portuguese merchants) and to curb the rise of Siddis of Janjira. Shivaji built ships in towns such as Kalyan, Bhivandi, and Goa for building fighting navy as well as trade. He also built a number of sea forts and bases for repair, storage and shelter. Shivaji fought many lengthy battles with Siddis of Janjira on coastline. The fleet grew to reportedly 160 to 700 merchant, support and fighting vessels. He started trading with foreigners on his own after possession of eight or nine ports in the Deccan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"15101\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,275&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Navy Day\u00a0in\u00a0India\u00a0is celebrated on 4 December every year to recognize the achievements and role of the\u00a0Indian Navy\u00a0to the country.\u00a0 4 December was chosen as on that day in 1971, during\u00a0Operation Trident, the Indian Navy sank four Pakistani vessels including\u00a0PNS Khaibar, killing hundreds of\u00a0Pakistani Navy\u00a0personnel.\u00a0On the day, those killed in the\u00a0Indo-Pakistan War of 1971\u00a0are also remembered. &hellip;<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"15101\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;1,275&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15104,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-25","category-23"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15101\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/akashgyanvatika.com\/test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
