The Story
Guardians of India's Waters
"The Indian Navy's Chief of Naval Staff oversees a fleet responsible for securing over 7,500 kilometres of coastline and vital sea lanes across the Indian Ocean."
The Chiefs of Indian Navy Theme File traces the office through 28 individuals, tracking the modernisation of a force that has grown from a coastal defence fleet into a blue-water navy with regional reach.
44 notes span the decades of that transformation.
"28 Chiefs. From coastal defence to blue-water navy."
