India celebrates December 04 as Navy Day, every year, to acknowledge the role of the Indian Navy and commemorate its achievements in 'Operation Trident' during the 1971 Indo-Pak War.
This year, for the first time, Navy Day Celebrations are being conducted outside the National Capital.
This year, as India ushers in the ‘Amrit Kaal’ with the commencement of the celebrations of 75 years of her independence, the Indian Navy demonstrated India’s combat prowess and capability through an ‘Operational Demonstration’ on Navy Day.
The President of India and the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, Droupadi Murmu witnessed the Operational Demonstration. Several dignitaries from the Central and State Governments also attended the event, which was hosted by Admiral R. Hari Kumar, Chief of the Naval Staff.
The Operational Demonstration showcased the capabilities of Indian Naval ships, submarines, aircraft, helicopters and Special Forces from the Eastern, Western and Southern Naval Command. The event concluded with Beating Retreat, a sunset ceremony and illumination by ships at anchorage.

In addition, commemorating the event a Navy Telefilm, movie on Navy Wellness and Welfare Association and a new naval song titled ‘Call of the Blue Waters’ written by Mr Prasoon Joshi and sung by Shankar Mahadevan were also released.
The Navy Day 2022 also marked a special day for the Indian Navy as the new President’s Standard, a new Indian Navy Crest and the CNS Standard were unveiled on the occasion.
