(a) Introduction - 05 min (b) Early History/ Goa Operations - 10 min (c) Indo Pak War / Post war till date - 20 min (d) Conclusion - 05 Mins ------------- 40 Mins ------------- 3. Introduction. On 26 January 1950 when India became a Republic , the Royal Indian Navy was re-designated and the new Indian Naval Ensign (Naval Flag)was adopted on this date. The Indian National flag had earlier taken the place of Union Jack on 15th Aug 1947. Soon after independence the first cruiser INS Delhi and 03 ‗R‘ class destroyers Rajput, Ranjit & Rana joined the Indian Navy. In late 50‘s the second cruiser INS Mysore & 02 Frigate INS Trishul & Talwar were acquired, this was followed by the acquisitions of the anti Submarine Frigates INS Khukri, Kuthar, Kirpan & Anti Air Craft Frigates Brahmaputra, Beas & Betwa. With the joining of these ships the Indian Naval 6 Flotilla was constituted into a Fleet. The Air Craft carrier INS Vikrant was commissioned in February 61. This added an Integral Air Defence & strike capability to our Fleet. 4. Goa Operation. Indian Naval Ships were deployed for action for the first time in the liberation of Goa in Dec 1961. In the encounter that took place off Goa. Portuguese warship Albuquerque was disabled, after which the Indian Navy established its command of the Sea off Goa and was able to enforce a blockade of this port there by denying the Portuguese of any further assistance from the Sea. 5. In the mid 60‘s the only addition to the Indian Navy was an oil tanker acquired from West Germany. With the addition of this oil tanker the range of the Fleet increased as also its capacity and endurance at Sea. 6. Indo- Pak War. With the change in the Geo political situation in the Indian Ocean there was a need for faster and more sophisticated ships to meet the maritime defence needs of the Indian Navy. The result was the acquisition of ships, missile boats and submarines in the late 60‘s and early 70‘s with systematic and sustained growth, proper training and courage and initiative in battle, it was possible for the Indian Navy to give a good account of itself both in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea in the 1971 conflict with Pakistan for the liberations of Bangladesh. 7. Post 1971. After the 1971 war, the Navy has been acquiring more ships and Aircraft to enable to discharge its responsibility effectively. It acquired an Aircraft Carrier from Britain which was christened as INS Viraat and two more ‗R‘ class ships Ranvir & Ranvijay. The Indian Navy has also became self sufficient in building of frigate of Leander Class and Godavari Classes, Corvette of Khukri Class, Missile boats of Nishank Class, Submarine of Shalki class which were built indigenously and Helicopters of ‗Chetak‘ class. We have increased our warship building capabilities phenomenally, the recent production of Destroyers INS Delhi, Mumbai & Mysore proves this. The Indian Navy recently commissioned the latest of Delhi class Destroyers INS Mysore which was built indigenously in the Mazagaon Dock in Mumbai. The Navy also acquired sophisticated vertical/ short take off and landing(VSTOL)‘Sea Harrier‘ Aircraft from Britain which can take off from a small deck of ships and maritime reconnaissance and anti submarine role Aircraft TU142 from Russia which increased the capacity of our Navy by leaps and bounds making it a world class Navy. 7 8. Present Status. Modernisation is a constant process. Indian Navy is in the process of acquiring Air Craft Carrier from Russia, Admiral Gorshkhav named INS Vikramaditya along with MIG 29K. It also acquired an USA LPD, INS Jalashwa. It has indigenously built stealth Frigates in its service. 9. Post -Indo Pak war 1971, Navy has been engaged in various operations like Pawan, Cactus, TASHA, etc. besides providing humanitarian assistance during Tsunami etc. During Kargil war, though no naval action took place, Navy embarked upon OP Talwar and brought all its force to bear upon Arabian Sea prompting Pakistan to desist from further misadventure. Presently it is active in Anti-Piracy ops off Somalia as part of UN ops. 10. Conclusion. Indian Navy has come a long way since our Independence. Starting with a small number of ships at the time of Independence, it has grown over the years both in terms of number and quality of platforms in order to become a three dimensional Navy. It has acquired itself with glory whenever called up to meet national interest both during war and peace. Note. The lecture needs to be supplemented by pictures/ movies clips for better assimilation by cadets. 8 SECTION- 2 (SD/SW) ORGANISATION OF NAVY - NHQ, COMMANDS, SHIPS & ESTABLISHMENTS Period - 02 Type - LEC Term - 1 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Training Aids 1.

(a) Intro - 05 Mins (b) Role of IN Indo Pak War-1971 - 15 Mins (c) Kargil War - 15 Mins (d) Conclusion - 05 Mins ------------- 40 Mins ------------- 3. Introduction. The Indo Pak War of 1971 was brought about by the flawed inner dynamics of the Pakistani system of governance where in the Bengalis of the East Pakistan were not dealt with according to democratic norms. Even when ballot gave them overwhelming majority, they were refused their rights by the Pakistani Government, that lead to Mujibur Rahman declaring Bangladesh an independent country on 25 Mar 1971. NAVAL OPERATIONS IN ARABIAN SEA. 4. The situation in the Arabian Sea was altogether different. The Submarine, surface and air threats were higher and assessment of threats were little confusing. 5. Missile Boat Attack. The first missile boat attack on Karachi, launched from Saurashtra (Okha) along the coast, was a success. It sank a Pakistani destroyer and a coastal minesweeper. The Indian Fleet planned its next attack for night 8/9 December. To divert attention from missile attack on Karachi, they had also planned a diversionary 49 attack on Jiwani (Makran Coast). The bombardment group, under the Cruiser Mysore, apprehended Pakistani Merchant Ship ‗Madhumati‘ south of Jiwani after she had transmitted an SOS to Karachi. After Madhumati was boarded FOCWF called off gun bombardment of Jiwani as SOS was good enough distraction for the missile boats to go though the attack on Karachi. Once again this second strike also was successful. A missile, set Karachi fuel storage tanks aflame and another hit Dacca, the Pakistani Navy‘s tanker, at the anchorage. These two missile attack on Karachi achieved Western Fleet dominance of Sea approaches to Karachi. 6. Sinking of INS Khukri. A submarine was reliably detected off Bombay. On 8thDecember two frigates Khukri and Kirpan, were sailed from Bombay to ‗Flush‘ this submarine away from the Saurashtra coast where ships were assembling for the next missile attack on Karachi. On the evening of 9th December, the Pakistani submarine Hangor successfully torpedoed and sank Khukri. A sustained anti-submarine operation over the next four days was unable to prevent the Hangor‘s return to Karachi. NAVAL OPERATIONS IN BAY OF BENGAL. 7. In the Bay of Bengal there was no Surface threat. At the very beginning of the war, the Submarine threat vanished after, Pakistani Submarine Ghazi exploded at the entrance to Visakhapatnam Harbour whilst laying mines. There was no air threat after Indian Air Forse attacks grounded aircraft in East Pakistan. Carrier borne Air Craft avoided attacking neutral Merchant Shipping at Sea. They concentrated on immobilising Pakistani Vessels and damaged all Air Strips, which Pakistani Forces in East Pakistan might use to escape capture. Ships of Eastern Fleet enforced contraband control until tasked with amphibious landing to out off escape routes into Burma. Pakistan‘s Forces in the east laid down their arms after thirteen days of war and new Nation Bangladesh came into being. 8. Lesson Learnt. The war ended on 17th December when Pakistan accepted India‘s offer of cease-fire. While Indian Navy gave a good account of itself following lessons were learnt and post war action was taken to address these issues. (a) Innovation and Exercise. Missile boat attack carried out by Indian Navy by towing them near the vicinity of target was a plus point of improvisation. 50 (b) Submarine is a dangerous enemy in typical hydrological condition where it is difficult to detect and requires attack from air, surface and underwater –all three directions. (c) Large caliber gun engagement between warships not likely. Anti ship missile would dominate future war at sea. KARGIL WAR 9. Introduction. During 1999 Kargil War, the western and Eastern Fleet were deployed in the Northern Arabian Sea, as part of the Operation Talwar. They safe guarded Indian Maritime assets from a Potential Pakistani Naval Attack as also deferred Pakistan from attempting to block India‘s sea-trade routes. The Indian Navy‘s aviators flew sorties and marine commandos fought alongside Indian Army personnel in the Himalayas. 10. Initial Phase. The 1999 Kargil War took place between May 8, when Pakistani forces and Kashmiri militants were detected atop the Kargil ridges and July 14 when both sides had essentially ceased their military operations. It is believed that the planning for the operation, by Pakistan, may have occurred about as early as the autumn of 1998.The spring and summer incursion of Pakistan-backed armed forces into territory on the Indian side of the line of control around Kargil in the state of Jammu and Kashmir and the Indian military campaign to repel the intrusion left 524 Indian soldiers dead and 1,363 wounded. 11. Later Phase. By 30 June 1999 Indian forces were prepared for a major high- altitude offensive against Pakistani posts along the border in the disputed Kashmir region. Over the previous six weeks India had moved five infantry divisions, five independent brigades and 44 battalions of paramilitary troops to Kashmir. The total Indian troop strength in the region had reached 730,000. The build-up included the deployment of around 60 frontline aircraft. The Pakistani effort to take Kargil occurred after the February 1999 Lahore summit between then Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the Indian Prime Minister Atal Bahari Vajpayee. This conference was believed to have de-escalated the tensions that had existed since May 1998. The major motive behind the operation was to help in internationalizing the Kashmir issue, and for which global attention had been flagging for some time. The intrusion plan was 51 the brainchild of Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, Gen Pervez Musharraf and Lt Gen Mohammed Aziz, the Chief of General Staff. They obtained only an 'in principle' concurrence, without any specifics, from Nawaz Sharif, the Pakistani Prime Minister. NAVAL ASPECTS OF KARGIL WAR 12. While the Army and the Air Force readied themselves for the battle on the heights of Kargil, Indian Navy began to draw out its plans. Unlike the earlier wars with Pakistan, this time the bringing in of the Navy at the early stages of the conflict served to hasten the end of the conflict in India's favor. 13. Strategy. In drawing up its strategy, the Navy was clear that a reply to the Pakistani misadventure had to be two-pronged. While ensuring safety and security of Indian maritime assets from a possible surprise attack by Pakistan, the Indian imperative was that all efforts must be made to deter Pakistan from escalating the conflict into a full scale war. Thus, the Indian Navy was put on a full alert from May 20 onwards, a few days prior to the launch of the Indian retaliatory offensive. Naval and Coast Guard aircraft were put on a continuous surveillance and the units readied up for meeting any challenge at sea. 14. Operational Talwar. Time had now come to put pressure on Pakistan, to ensure that the right message went down to the masterminds in that country. Strike elements from the Eastern Fleet were sailed from Visakhapatnam on the East Coast to take part in a major naval exercise called 'SUMMEREX' in the North Arabian Sea. This was envisaged as the largest ever amassing of naval ships in the region. The message had been driven home. Pakistan Navy, in a defensive mood, directed all its units to keep clear of Indian naval ships. As the exercise shifted closer to the Makaran Coast, Pakistan moved all its major combatants out of Karachi. It also shifted its focus to escorting its oil trade from the Gulf in anticipation of attacks by Indian ships. 15. As the retaliation from the Indian Army and the Air Force gathered momentum and a defeat to Pakistan seemed a close possibility, an outbreak of hostilities became imminent. Thus the naval focus now shifted to the Gulf of Oman. Rapid reaction missile carrying units and ships from the fleet were deployed in the North Arabian Sea for carrying out missile firing, anti-submarine and electronic warfare exercises. The Navy 52 also readied itself for implementing a blockade of the Pakistani ports, should the need arise. In addition, Naval amphibious forces from the Andaman group of islands were moved to the western sea-board. 16. Conclusion. In a skillful use of Naval power in the form of 'Operation Talwar', the Eastern Fleet joined the Western Naval Fleet and blocked the Arabian Sea routes of Pakistan. Apart from a deterrent, the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharief later disclosed that Pakistan was left with just six days of fuel (POL) to sustain itself if a full- fledged war broke out. 53 SECTION -11 (SD/SW) NAVAL CAMPAIGN (PEARL HARBOUR, FALKLAND WAR, BATTLE OF ATLANTIC/ FLEET PFR, IFR) Period - 2 Type - PRAC Term - 01 each for II & III ************************************************************************************************ Trg Aids 1.

During First and Second World War, there were many Naval Campaigns which turned the tide of war and considered to be the turning points. Let us look at some of the famous naval battles. Pearl Harbor 4. The Battle of Pearl Harbour was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941 (December 8 in Japan). The attack was intended as a preventive action in order to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering 54 with military actions the Empire of Japan was planning in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. 5. The base was attacked by 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers. All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four being sunk. Of these eight damaged, two were raised, and with four repaired, six battleships returned to service later in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship and one minelayer. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,402 Americans were killed and 1,282 wounded. Important base installations such as the power station, shipyard, maintenance, and fuel and torpedo storage facilities, as well as the submarine piers and headquarters building (also home of the intelligence section) were not attacked. Japanese losses were light: 29 aircraft and five midget submarines lost, and 65 servicemen killed or wounded. One Japanese sailor was captured. 6. The attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters. The following day (December 8), the United States declared war on Japan. Domestic support for non-interventionism, which had been strong, disappeared. Clandestine support of Britain (for example the Neutrality Patrol) was replaced by active alliance. Subsequent operations by the U.S. prompted Germany and Italy to declare war on the U.S. on December 11, which was reciprocated by the U.S. the same day. There were numerous historical precedents for unannounced military action by Japan. However, the lack of any formal warning, particularly while negotiations were still apparently ongoing, led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to proclaim December 7, 1941, "a date which will live in infamy". Thus Japan had achieved total ―Surprise‖ by attacking Pearl Harbour. (Show Movie) Falklands War 7. The Falklands War (Spanish: Guerra de las Malvinas or Guerra del Atlántico Sur), also known as the Falklands Conflict or Falklands Crisis, was a 1982 war between Argentina and the United Kingdom. The conflict resulted from the long- standing dispute over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which lie in the South Atlantic, east of Argentina. 55 8. The Falklands War began on Friday 2 April 1982, when Argentine forces invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. The British government dispatched a naval task force to engage the Argentine Navy and Air Force, and retake the islands by amphibious assault. The resulting conflict lasted 74 days and ended with the Argentine surrender on 14 June 1982, which returned the islands to British control. During the conflict, 649 Argentine military personnel, 255 British military personnel and 3 Falkland Islanders died. 9. The conflict was the result of a protracted historical confrontation regarding the sovereignty of the islands. Argentina has asserted that the Falkland Islands have been Argentinian territory since the 19th century and till to date and showed no sign of relinquishing the claim. The claim was added to the Argentine constitution after its reformation in 1994. As such, the Argentine government characterised their initial invasion as the re-occupation of their own territory, whilst the British government saw it as an invasion of a British dependent territory. However, neither state officially declared war and hostilities were almost exclusively limited to the territories under dispute and the local area of the South Atlantic. 10. The conflict had a strong impact in both countries. Patriotic sentiment ran high in Argentina, but the outcome prompted large protests against the ruling military government, which hastened its downfall. In the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government was bolstered by the successful outcome. Relations between the United Kingdom and Argentina were restored in 1989 following a meeting in Madrid, at which the two Governments issued a joint statement. (Show Movie Clip) Battle of Atlantic 11. The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuous military campaign in World War II, running from 1939 to the defeat of Germany in 1945. At its core was the Allied naval blockade of Germany, announced the day after the declaration of war, and Germany's subsequent counter-blockade. It was at its height from mid-1940 through to the end of 1943. The Battle of the Atlantic pittedU-boats and other warships of the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) and aircraft of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) against Allied merchant shipping. The convoys, coming mainly from North America and mainly going to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, were protected for the most part by the British and Canadian navies and air forces. These forces were aided by ships and aircraft of the United States from September 13, 1941. The Germans were 56 joined by submarines of the Italian Royal Navy (Regia Marina) after their Axis ally Italy entered the war on June 10, 1940. 12. As an island nation, the United Kingdom was highly dependent on imported goods. Britain required more than a million tons of imported material per week in order to be able to survive and fight. In essence, the Battle of the Atlantic was a tonnage war: The Allied struggle to supply Britain and the Axis attempt to stem the flow of merchant shipping which enabled Britain to keep fighting. From 1942 onwards, the Germans also sought to prevent the build-up of Allied supplies and equipment in the British Isles in preparation for the invasion of occupied Europe. The defeat of the U-boat threat was a pre-requisite for pushing back the Germans. Winston Churchill was later to state: 13. The Battle of the Atlantic was the dominating factor all through the war. Never for one moment could we forget that everything happening elsewhere, on land, at sea or in the ai
