In a powerful show of maritime strength, the Indian Navy deployed 36 warships, including aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, during Operation Sindoor to blockade Pakistan's Karachi port. The mission, sparked by a recent terror attack in Pahalgam, marks one of India’s largest operational deployments outside peacetime. The armada included seven BrahMos-equipped destroyers and stealth frigates like INS Tushil, signaling a significant escalation from the six-ship operation in 1971. Submarines and support vessels completed the strategic blockade, underscoring India’s readiness and deterrence capability amid rising regional tensions. Pakistan responded by issuing NAVAREA warnings anticipating naval action. (PC: India Today)
