#TodayInHistory Operation Trident takes place during the 1971 War when the Indian Navy carries out a surprise raid on Karachi port, dealing a devastating blow to the Pakistani Navy. This date is observed as #NavyDay annually.

The 1971 War was where the Indian Navy came into it's own and played a major part, unlike 1962, 1965 that were primarily land and air based. It was one of the finest hours of the Indian Navy to date. #NavyDay

The 1971 War, started on December 3, 1971, when the Pakistani air forced, launched Operation Chengiz Khan, a series of pre emptive attacks on the Indian air force bases in Pathankot, Agra, Ambala, that fortunately did not cause any major damage.

It's #NavyDay today!! 🧵
Happy Navy day to those who served and those who are serving.
Navy is traditionally a mixture of extremes. It is the navy which won territories for the nations. Spain, England, Holland, Portugal, France and India were all successful colonial powers only+

because of their respective navies.
On the other hand, sailors - as against the navy - bring to mind fun and frolic. More than any group of people in the world, it is the sailors who are associated with deeds that usually gets shunted by the general conscience: +

Getting drunk at the slightest pretext in any bar or shack, engaging in brawls for no reason at all while there, rushing to the places where girls await with outstretched hands.

Indian Navy is different.

We dutifully send money home as soon as we get the salaries +

Operation Trident (4th Dec 1971): Decoding Indian Navy's boldest operation to decimate Pakistan's Karachi port and destroy fuel & ammunition. With 0 casualties for India and overwhelming success, India celebrates 4th of December as Navy Day in memory of this operation. (1/n)

In the 1965 war, Indian Armed Forces weren’t organized properly. Air Force and Navy were considered as extensions of army.

Indian Navy didn't participate & silently watched as the Pak Navy attacked Dwarka with impunity.

Having learned the lessons, it was prepared in 1971.(2/n)

Karachi port was Pak's most valuable asset & was heavily defended; attacking it was going to be very risky move. Admiral SM Nanda, Vice-Admiral SN Kohli, and Cmdr BB Yadav were the trio that masterminded and executed the most ambitious naval attack after WW2. (3/n)
