Anupama Thapliyal: Anchored in Legacy, Steered by Innovation, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book explores the evolution of the Indian Navy into a modernized blue-water navy. It shows how the Navy's ethos is anchored in ancient maritime heritage while it constantly innovates with the times. It traces how the modern Indian Navy emerged from the shadows of the Royal Indian Navy and transformed itself into a strong, united, reliable, and a self-made force. The chapters in the volume explore: key naval campaigns of the Indian Navy such as the 1965 and the 1971 wars as well as recent contributions such as Operation Sindoor; key humanitarian and disaster relief operations across the Indian Ocean Region; assistance to other nations and navies; the development of the air arm, the submarine arm, and the indigenous aircraft carrier; and its progression from a "buyer's" navy to a "builder's" navy.

The volume will be indispensable to military personnel students, researchers and enthusiasts of military history and strategic studies, India's maritime history and heritage, as well as naval studies.
