How many port calls and how many countries did the Lokayan 26 deployment cover?
- A.12 ports in 9 countries
- B.17 ports in 11 countries
- C.21 ports in 14 countries
- D.15 ports in 11 countries
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 17 ports in 11 countries. The voyage took INS Sudarshini to ports in Asia, Europe, Africa and North America, and it included two crossings of the Atlantic Ocean. The single longest stretch sailed entirely under sail ran to 2,200 nautical miles and took 19 days, which the Navy described as the longest distance covered on sail alone during the deployment. The other options misstate either the number of harbours or the number of countries. Candidates should hold on to the pair of figures together, because a question may give the right number of ports with the wrong number of countries, as options A, C and D do here. The full distance of the expedition, more than 22,000 nautical miles, is the third figure worth memorising from this story.
