Which of the following statements about the 4th edition of Exercise Samudra Laksamana is correct?
- A.It was held entirely at sea, with no harbour phase
- B.It had a harbour phase and an operational phase at sea
- C.It was a multilateral exercise involving six navies
- D.It was held off the coast of Visakhapatnam
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is that the exercise had a harbour phase and an operational phase at sea. In the harbour phase the personnel of the two navies held professional exchanges and interactions, which let them share experience and build mutual understanding. The engagement then moved to sea, where INS Mysore exercised with the Royal Malaysian Navy ships KD Lekir and KD Gagah Samudera and the ships undertook coordinated manoeuvres. Option A is wrong precisely because the harbour phase came first and is described in some detail. Option C is wrong because Samudra Laksamana is a bilateral exercise between India and Malaysia, not a gathering of several navies. Option D is wrong because the venue was Lumut in Malaysia and not an Indian port. The two phase structure, harbour followed by sea, is common to many of India's bilateral naval exercises and is worth remembering as a pattern.
