This special day is celebrated on 4th December because on this day Operation Trident was launched during the 1970 war against Pakistan.


Under this operation, Indian Navy attacked Pakistan’s naval headquarter in Karachi. During the attack, the Navy used the three Vidyut-class missile boats, two anti-submarine vehicles and a tanker.
