English: The Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presided over India's show of Naval might on 8 and 9 January 2018. More than ten warships from the Indian Navy including the aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, three submarines and various naval aircraft participated in operational manoeuvres conducted off the western coast of India.
The Minister initially embarked INS Kolkata, the first of the indigenously built Kolkata Class destroyers and then spent the night at sea on-board INS Vikramaditya. To assess the performance of the carrier in real conditions, the Minister 'transited' through a simulated 'multi-threat' environment on-board along with her 'escorts' during the night of 08 January 2018.
