INS Trishul concluded a port call at Civitavecchia, which lies in which country?
- A.Greece
- B.Italy
- C.Spain
- D.France
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Italy. Civitavecchia is an Italian port, and INS Trishul finished its call there on 28 October 2026 as part of a continuing operational deployment in the Mediterranean Sea. During the stay the ship's Commanding Officer called on the Fleet Commander of the Italian Navy and the crew went aboard the Italian aircraft carrier ITS Cavour. Options A, C and D name Greece, Spain and France, all of which have Mediterranean coasts, which makes them plausible distractors; but the port visited on this occasion was in Italy, and it was the Italian Navy that the Indian ship engaged with. India's Ambassador to Italy, Vani Rao, and the Italian Fleet Commander, Vice Admiral Aurelio De Carolis, both came aboard the frigate during the visit.
