The Indian Navy is set to conduct an 'Operational Demonstration' off the coast of Puri, Odisha, on December 4 as a part of the Navy Day 2024 celebrations. This event will provide spectators with a rare insight into the operational capabilities of India’s maritime force. Showcasing cutting-edge technology and sophisticated manoeuvres, the demonstration is both a tribute to India’s rich maritime heritage and a testament to its modern naval prowess.  

Operational demonstrations serve as a critical link between the Navy and the citizens. Beyond ceremonial pomp, they highlight the Indian Navy’s combat readiness, rescue capabilities, and ability to safeguard India’s extensive maritime interests. For a country that faces significant maritime challenges, these displays reinforce the importance of a robust and prepared naval force.
