Here, the cadets received hands-on experience while moving many small but critical vessels. The training program highlighted the significance of versatility in naval warfare and highlighted the specific roles of the vessels in a fully coordinated mission. The complete experience demanded precise execution and fast thinking to reinforce lessons in operational readiness and small-team leadership.

The first was INS Kalinga, which is the premier naval base of the Eastern seaboard. The base provided valuable insights into the extensive support and logistical infrastructure needed to sustain any fleet.
After that, visit to the Marcos Training Base was another highlight of the ground-based training organized for the Naval Wing’s Cadets. During their entire visit, Cadet Captains met with several elite members of India’s Marine Commando Force. Special force operators, strategic brilliance, sheer professionalism, and physical fortitude are a few inspiring factors for the attendees. Such a visit left an indelible mark and served as a strong motivation for their training and upcoming aspirations.
