Watch: Why India celebrates Navy Day on December 4

The Hindu  

India’s Navy Day, celebrated every year on December 4th, is more than just a date — it is a testament to courage, precision, and legacy. Since 1972, Navy Day has been celebrated to honor this victory and the Indian Navy’s role in protecting our nation’s interests. With aircraft carriers like INS Vikrant, nuclear-powered submarines like INS Arihant, and cutting-edge destroyers and frigates, it safeguards India’s 7,500-kilometer coastline and 2 million square kilometers of Exclusive Economic Zone. The Navy Day is not just a celebration of India’s naval victories; it’s a reminder of the legacy, resilience, and dedication of the Indian Navy.
