With reference to a President’s Fleet Review, consider the following statements:
1. It implies the country’s President taking stock of the Navy’s capability including the merchant ships.
2. In India, it takes place under every President with a maximum gap between two reviews being 6 years.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
1 only
2 only
Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
Statement 2 is incorrect: It takes place once under every President. There is no provision for a maximum gap between two Presidential Fleet Reviews. The longest gap between reviews was of 12 years — between 1989 (President R Venkatraman) and when 2001 (President K R Narayanan). Supplementary notes:
President’s Fleet Review
In simplest terms, it is the country’s President taking stock of the Navy’s capability. It showcases all types of ships and capabilities the Navy has. The review also includes merchant ships.
All naval ships do not participate. The idea is to showcase not all the Navy’s ships, but every type of ship — and the kind of capabilities it has at that time.
The President is taken on one of the naval ships, which is called the President’s Yacht, to look at all the ships docked on one of the naval ports. The President’s Yacht this year “is an indigenously built Naval Offshore Patrol Vessel, INS Sumitra, which will lead the Presidential Column. The yacht will be distinguished by the Ashoka Emblem on her side and will fl y the President’s Standard on the Mast”. It takes place once under every President, who is the supreme commander of the armed forces. There have been 11 President’s Fleet Reviews since Independence.
The fi rst was conducted in 1953, under Dr. Rajendra Prasad. The next one was done not by the President but by the then Defence Minister, Y B Chavan, in 1964. Since then, it has been the President reviewing the fl eet. The longest gap between reviews was of 12 years — between 1989 (President R Venkatraman) and when 2001 (President K R Narayanan). The last one was done in 2016, under President Pranab Mukherjee.
The reviews in 2001 and 2016 were International Fleet Reviews, in which some vessels from other countries also participated. The Indian Navy too has participated in international fl eet reviews in other countries, including Australia, America, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, and the UK.
