In which sea was INS Trishul deployed when it called at Souda Bay?
- A.Red Sea
- B.Black Sea
- C.Mediterranean Sea
- D.Baltic Sea
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Mediterranean Sea. The port call at Souda Bay on 31 October 2026 took place during an ongoing deployment of Indian Naval Ship Trishul to the Mediterranean, and Souda Bay is a Greek port in that sea. Options A, B and D name the Red Sea, the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea. Each is a recognised body of water and each sees naval activity, which makes them reasonable looking choices, but none of them is the sea in which this deployment was running, so all three are wrong. Candidates should link the three elements of such a question together: the ship, the sea of deployment and the port visited. Here they are Trishul, the Mediterranean and Souda Bay, with engagements planned with the Hellenic Navy and a visit to the facilities of NSA Souda Bay and NMIOTC.
