The Indian Navy: Glorious Past-Vibrant Future, a coffee-table book that seeks to capture the sweep of history of the Indian Navy as it marks its 60 years, was released by Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan in Mumbai on the occasion of Navy Day celebrations on Saturday. The book is published by The Indian Express Group and is sponsored by Pipavav Shipyard Ltd.
Speaking on the occasion, the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Western Naval Command, Vice-Admiral Sanjeev Bhasin, said the book would be a valuable addition to the existing literature on the history of the Indian Navy. “It traces the history of the Indian Navy from the pre-Independence era till date and meticulously captures the acquisitions and the growth of the Indian Navy over the years,” Bhasin said.
“This is the 60th year of the Indian Navy and this book couldn’t have been published at a better time,” added Vice-Admiral Pradeep Chauhan, the Chief of Staff of the Western Naval Command.
