With regard to Indian Navy’s overseas deployment to Africa, West Asia and Europe, INS Trikand entered Istanbul, Turkey for a 3 day visit on October 4th 2015. Indian Naval ships such as these are constantly deployed for building bridges of friendship apart from capacity building and capacity enhancement. Bilateral naval relations between India and Turkey are expected to strengthen further due to the planned visit of a Turkish warship for the International Fleet Review at Visakhapatnam, India in Feb 2016. INS Trikand is a advanced Indian Navy warship equipped with a versatile range of weapons and sensors capable of addressing threats in all the three dimensions – air, surface and sub-surface. The visiting ship is part of the Indian Navy’s Western Fleet. It is under the operational command of the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Western Naval Command, with its HQ at Mumbai.
