In which sea was INS Trishul on operational deployment when it made the port call?
- A.The Red Sea
- B.The Black Sea
- C.The Mediterranean Sea
- D.The Baltic Sea
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Mediterranean Sea. The ship's visit to the Italian port of Civitavecchia came during its continuing operational deployment to that sea, and the Passage Exercise with the Italian Naval Ship Carlo Margottini was held in the same waters shortly before the ship entered harbour. Option A is wrong: the Red Sea lies between Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and was not named in connection with this deployment. Option B is wrong because the Black Sea is a separate body of water to the north-east, reached through the Turkish straits, and no deployment there was reported. Option D is wrong as the Baltic Sea lies in northern Europe, far from the port visited. Since Civitavecchia is on Italy's western coast, the sea in question is the one that washes that coast.
