Navy Day is celebrated every year on December 4. The ‘Navy Day 2023’ celebrations at Sindhudurg pay tribute to the rich maritime heritage of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose seal inspired the new Naval Ensign, which was adopted last year when the Prime Minister commissioned the first indigenous aircraft carrier, INS Vikrant.
Every year on the occasion of Navy Day, there is a tradition of conducting ‘operational displays’ by ships, submarines, aircraft, and special forces of the Indian Navy.
These ‘Operational Demonstrations’ provide an opportunity for the people to see various aspects of multi-domain operations conducted by the Indian Navy.
It highlights to the public the contribution of the Navy towards national security while also instilling maritime consciousness among the citizens.
