Indian Navy women battle the elements, conquer Cape Horn in South America
Saturday, 15 February 2025 Lieutenant commanders Dilna K and Roopa A became part of an elite group of seafarers by successfully rounding Cape Horn on Valentine's Day. Braving severe weather conditions, they navigated through the challenging Drake Passage, demonstrating their exceptional skill and resilience. Their mentor, Abhilash Tomy, monitored their progress closely throughout the journey.
A massive explosion rocked the Singapore-flagged container ship MV Wan Hai 503 off Kerala’s coast on Monday. The underdeck blast triggered thick smoke and fire, prompting 18 of the 22 crew to abandon ship. The Indian Navy swiftly diverted INS Surat for rescue, while the Coast Guard joined evacuation efforts. The vessel, en route from Colombo to Mumbai, remains adrift and burning. The Navy is deploying a Dornier aircraft to assess the situation. The incident follows a recent cargo ship sinking nearby.

Disaster strikes off the Kochi coast as the Liberian-flagged container ship MSC ELSA 3 tilts dangerously, spilling containers into the Arabian Sea — some filled with low sulfur fuel. Indian Navy and Coast Guard launch a high-stakes rescue mission, saving 21 of 24 crew members, including nationals from Russia, the Philippines, Ukraine, and Georgia. Aerial footage shows liferafts dropped from an ICG Dornier, as Kerala braces for a possible environmental crisis. With fuel containers likely to wash ashore and oil slicks spreading, the threat is far from over. This is an international emergency unfolding in real time.

Following the brutal terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam on April 22, the Indian Navy launched a powerful response under Operation Sindoor. Vice Admiral AN Pramod confirmed that India’s Carrier Battle Group, submarines, and air assets were deployed in full combat readiness within 96 hours. Positioned decisively in the northern Arabian Sea, Indian forces remain on high alert, capable of striking sea and land targets — including Karachi — if ceasefire violations continue. Pakistan’s naval and air units have been forced into a defensive posture, retreating to harbours under constant Indian surveillance. India’s response remains proportionate yet firm, signaling unmistakable deterrence.
