There are few militaries that can boast of continuity and cooperation in the field of maritime combat drills the way the navies of Indian and Singapore have and that too for 25 years now.
When the frontline ships of the Eastern Fleet of the Indian Navy and those of the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) made their entry into the azure waters of Port Blair in the pristine Andaman and Nicobar Islands on Saturday last, it was a treat for the onlooking spectators.
The ships arrived at Port Blair for the commencement of the 25th edition of the SIMBEX – Singapore India Maritime Bilateral Exercises in 1994, today these exercises have graduated to complex maritime combat drills including missile and torpedo firing exercises, and shore based intensive professional exchanges.
Home to India’s only tri-services command, the crew of the participating warships and the Maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft and integral helicopters, would go through the last minute exercise coordination.
