The day is observed to honour the accomplishments of the Indian Navy. In 1971, the men in white carried out Operation Trident against Pakistan, a neighbouring country. This year marks the 50th anniversary of our successful operation, and we are ready to commemorate it as "Swarnim Vijay Varsh." India's blue naval power capabilities and capacity are unquestionably among the world's best. Indian Navy is composed of various kinds of ships, including Amphibious Transport Dock, Aircraft Carrier, Destroyers, Frigates, Nuclear-powered Ballistic Missile Submarine, Conventionally Powered Attack Submarines, Corvettes, Landing Craft Utility, Large Offshore Patrol Vessels, Landing Ship Tanks, Fleet Tankers, Auxiliary vessels, and Small Patrol Boats.
In 1971, the Indian Navy launched Operation Trident to strike Karachi Harbour. The Indian navy deployed an anti-ship missile on a Pakistani ship for the first time. After three days, Operation Trident was followed by Operation Python. During the operation, no Indian sailors were injured. The Pakistani fleet tanker PNS Dacca was damaged during the operation.
