Which of the following was carried out during the sea phase of the exercise?
- A.Coordinated navigation, helicopter operations and joint maritime manoeuvres
- B.Only cross-deck visits and cultural programmes
- C.Amphibious landing of troops on a beach
- D.Live firing of ballistic missiles
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is coordinated navigation, helicopter operations and joint maritime manoeuvres. These were the activities the two warships undertook once they left harbour, and the Navy described the phase as turning professional interaction into practical operational work, giving the crews a chance to practise coordination at sea and to understand each other's operating procedures. Option B is wrong because cross-deck visits and cultural programmes belonged to the harbour phase, not the sea phase. Options C and D describe activities that were not part of this engagement; an amphibious landing belongs to humanitarian assistance and disaster relief or assault exercises, while missile firing was not reported here. The exercise was presented as part of a sustained effort towards peace, stability and security in the Indo-Pacific.
