The Indian Navy is a well-balanced and cohesive
three-dimensional force, capable of operating above, on and under the surface
of the oceans, efficiently safeguarding our national interests.
The Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS) exercises operational and
administrative control of the Indian Navy from the Integrated Headquarters of
Ministry of Defence (Navy). He is assisted by the Vice Chief of the Naval Staff
(VCNS) and three other Principal Staff Officers, namely the Deputy Chief of the
Naval Staff (DCNS), the Chief of Personnel (COP) and the Chief of Material
(COM).
The Navy has the following three
Commands, each under the control of a Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief:-
·
The Western Naval Command
(Headquarters at Mumbai).
·
The Eastern Naval Command
(Headquarters at Visakhapatnam)
·
The Southern Naval Command
(Headquarters at Kochi)
The Western and the Eastern Naval Commands are ‘Operational
Commands’, and exercise control over operations in the Arabian Sea and the Bay
of Bengal respectively. The Southern Command is the Training Command.
The cutting edge of the Indian Navy are its two Fleets,
namely the Western Fleet, based at Mumbai and the Eastern Fleet, based at
Visakhapatnam. Besides the Fleets, there is a Flotilla each, based at Mumbai,
Visakhapatnam and Port Blair (A & N Islands), that provide Local Naval
Defence in their respective regions. Naval ships are also based at other ports
along the East and the West coasts of India and the island territories, thus
ensuring continued naval presence in the areas of national interest. Further,
there are various Naval Officer-in-Charges (NOICs), under each Command,
responsible for the Local Naval Defence of ports under their respective
jurisdictions.
The defence of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is a joint
responsibility of all the three services and is coordinated by the
Headquarters, Andaman & Nicobar Command, located at Port Blair. This is the
only Tri-Services Command in the Indian Armed Forces and is headed by a
Commander-in-Chief, as appointed in rotation from the three Services. The Local
Naval Defence of the Lakshadweep group of islands is the responsibility of the
Naval Officer-in-Charge, Lakshadweep.
