*IMPORTANCE OF 01 MAR FOR INDIAN NAVY*

Dear Seniors and Friends,

Today, *01 Mar*, is an important day for Indian Navy. It marks the *55th anniversary of the formation of Western Naval Command, Eastern Naval Command & Western Fleet. It's was also on this day in 1968 that then Navy Chief Adhar Kumar Chatterji  (AKC) was promoted to full Admiral*,  putting the Navy on par with the other two services.

To make it more interesting am fwdng a photo, *which tells a story and relates to our theme today*. It is of *Adm AKC crossing the Jackstay* from INS Mysore (first) to another Fleet Ship.  Look at the impeccable balance, the correct pose and posture, the starched whites, the poise. This was him all the time. A true scholar warrior much before the term came into vogue. This photo of 60s has been artistically colorized by a Naval history aficionado.

*Regards*
