President aboard INS Viraat
The government is committed to modernizing the Indian Navy in keeping with the requirements of the 21st century, President Pratibha Patil said Wednesday.
In July was launched INS Arihant, an indigenously designed nuclear submarine that is an important milestone in the navy's modernisation process and to ensure an equitable balance of power in the region, she said, while on board the aircraft carrier INS Viraat off Mumbai harbour during a 'day at sea'.
