The Defenders of The Sea

In 1945, the Women’s Royal Indian Naval Service (Wrins) was made a separate wing to help the Royal Indian Navy.

Navy Day in India was observed on the 4th of December. To celebrate the Navy week and acknowledge the achievements of the naval forces, let’s learn some fascinating things about the Navy and a few global naval practices.

1. In a move that made naval history, he towed three Russian Osa Class missile boats with Styx missiles and unleashed it on the Pakistani port. Karachi burned for seven days. He is hailed as ‘The Man Who Bombed Karachi.’ Identify.

2. This habit during the times of King Henry VIII invited punishments for repeating it inside a ship. First three punishments included pouring water on one’s head and the fourth time that a person repeated the habit, they were kept at the end of the ship in a basket with a can of beer, some bread and a knife. He

would have to stay there until they starve or cut themselves. Identify the habit. 

3. This “Centaur” class light fleet carrier was completed in 1959 and commissioned to the British Royal Navy as HMS Hermes 10. The ship took part in important events including the 1982 Falklands War and was decommissioned in 1984 and later sold to India. How do we better know it?

4. In 1945, the Women’s Royal Indian Naval Service (Wrins) was made a separate wing to help the Royal Indian Navy. During this period, Britain issued an invitation to her to visit UK for a study at the Women’s Royal Naval Service and she became the first Indian service woman to visit the UK. Identify.

5. It’s an old naval phrase for a sailor who is fond of arguing and believes that he knows all the regulations. He might look like a law expert, but in reality knows nothing. What do we call them?
