President Murmu undertakes rare dived sortie onboard indigenous submarine INS Vaghsheer



INS Vaghsheer is the last of the six conventional Scorpene Class diesel electric submarines manufactured under Project 75 and inducted this year.As per the Constitution, the President of India is the Supreme Commander of the Indian Armed Forces, comprising the Army, Navy and Air Force.According to the Indian Navy, the maiden sortie by the Supreme Commander onboard an indigenous Kalvari Class submarine is more than a ceremonial embarkation and “is a powerful reaffirmation of the Nation’s confidence in indigenous submarine construction and the centrality of undersea warfare in safeguarding national maritime interests.”During the dived submarine sortie, the Supreme Commander witnessed first hand “the prowess and demanding nature of the silent arm of the naval power.”The sortie is considered unique as the underwater environment is defined by isolation, high risk, stealth and precision, and reflects the highest standards of operational readiness.The Indian Navy is currently working on enhancing its overall operational capabilities.Submarines, discreet war machines due to their stealth and agility for covert operations, enable naval forces to operate where ships cannot go, strike as per operational requirements, and melt into opaque waters.The presence of the Supreme Commander, the force believes, would reaffirm the image of the submarine arm as a cornerstone of credible deterrence and maritime security.Submarines operate unseen, unheard and often unacknowledged, yet their impact on national defence is decisive. This sortie would reaffirm the trust placed by the Supreme Commander in these silent sentinels operating in some of the most hazardous conditions in the world.For the Indian Navy, the sortie provided an opportunity to present its combat preparedness and operational prowess, while showcasing its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the nation’s maritime interests.It also served as a clear demonstration of a force trained to the highest standards, capable of sustained operations and ready to respond decisively across the spectrum of conflict.For the officers and sailors onboard INS Vaghsheer, the Supreme Commander’s presence was a rare honour and a source of immense pride.It acknowledged their professionalism, endurance and willingness to serve in conditions that test both physical and mental resilience. Across the Indian Navy, the sortie is expected to reinforce a shared sense of purpose and unity.
