Patil Is First Woman President To Sail In Warship

After taking off in the frontline Sukhoi jet and riding a battle tank, President Pratibha today had a tryst with the Navy as she created history by sailing a warship here to review an impressive naval steampast.

77-year-old Patil, who reviewed a Naval fleet of 81 ships and 44 aircraft, said the Navy’s dominance in the region is set to grow with the induction of an aircraft carrier, new submarines and destroyers.

“The Navy today is poised to achieve new milestones with the imminent induction of aircraft carrier Vikramaditya, the Kolkata class stealth destroyers, the follow-on frigates of the Talwar class, the indigenous ASW corvettes and an impressive number of submarines and aircraft.
