Summary

Description
English: Pictured in the foreground is HMS DEFENDER with INS VIRAAT (previously HMS HERMES).

HMS Defender greeted new friends and bade goodbye to a legendary Royal Navy carrier as she enjoyed a four-day extravaganza at the Indian Navy’s International Fleet Review.

The Indian Navy hosts a Fleet review once during the term of office of the Commonwealth country’s president. This 11th incarnation of the review attracted nearly 100 warships.

Following a 21-gun salute from the Indian flagship INS Vikramaditya, HMS Defender anchored alongside warships from the US, China, Japan, Sri Lanka and India. These included the 57-year-old carrier INS Viraat – previously HMS Hermes under the White Ensign and flagship of the Falklands task force back in 1982.
