Two women naval officers return victorious after historic transoceanic expedition


Indian Navy's sailing ship Tarini has returned victoriously to its base port in Goa after a nearly two-month “historic transoceanic expedition” carrying two women officers, the Indian Navy said on Monday. It was piloted in double-handed mode by Commander Dilna K and Lieutenant Commander Rupa A. Their extraordinary journey is a historic milestone as they are the first two women from India to achieve such a feat.

“His extraordinary journey is a historic milestone as he becomes the first person from India to achieve such a feat,” the Navy said in a statement on Monday.

This remarkable achievement will not only inspire but also pave the way for future generations of personnel in the Indian Navy, especially women, to volunteer for challenging maritime adventures.

INSV Tarini was flagged off by Commanding Officer INS Mandovi and Naval Station Commander North Goa at the boat pool of INS Mandovi in the presence of Naval personnel and families of Station Mandovi, symbolizing the collective achievement and camaraderie within the Indian Navy.
