Remain focused on being combat ready at all times: Navy chief to officers

Indian Navy Chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi has emphasized the need for the Navy to remain combat-ready to protect national maritime interests, especially in light of China's increased presence in the Indian Ocean and the volatile situation in the Red Sea. He highlighted the Navy's commitment to self-reliance and the importance of finding in-house solutions and embracing new technologies to address challenges in the maritime domain. The Navy has been actively providing assistance to cargo vessels under attack in the Red Sea, where Houthi militants have targeted ships to pressure Israel.
