#INSVeer was one of the three missile boats of the 25 Missile Boat Squadron that participated in an offensive role in #OpTrident during #IndiaPakistanWar1971. The ship was decommissioned from the Indian Navy on 31 Dec 1982.
@OpenTrident Player count is 📈 but Treasury is 📉. Multi-accounting is a real issue and the math doesn't add up for the long term. As an early @optrident supporter, I'm worried. Thoughts? 😬 #Web3Gaming #Optrident

JUNGEE SAILS INTO VALHALLA
Folks, Sunday 07 September, brought the sad news of the passing of #CmdeInderjitSharma, AVSM, VrC, one of the heroes of #OpTrident - the attack on Karachi, on 04 Dec, by Indian Navy - in the 1971 war. He was 89.
IJ or 'Jungee' as he was popularly known was Commanding INS Nirghat that fired the first missile salvos of the war and sank PNS Khaibar. For his gallantry in the operation, he was awarded the Vir Chakra. Together #OpTrident and #OpPython (on 08 Dec) had KOed the Pak Navy in which Nirghat's opening blow drew first blood & had a staggering impact.
But there was more to Jungee than his splendid show in the '71 war. Having joined the Navy as a Sailor in 1954, he worked his way up through sheer professional excellence & hard work to be commissioned as an officer in September 1960, contemporary with 16th course NDA which has produced distinguished officers like Adm Sushil Kumar, VAdm Avnish Tandon, VAdm Verghese Koithara, RAdm Raja Menon and RAdm SK Das among others.
Early in his career, as Commanding Officer of a small patrol boat INS Sharda, he distinguished himself when his ship rescued more than 3000 people who had been stranded by the super cyclone that hit Dhanushkodi in Dec 1964. For his leadership and courage, Jungee was awarded the Ati Vishisht Seva Medal (AVSM) during the Republic Day honours in 1966 making him, possibly, the youngest recipient of the award, at less than 30 years.
A long G officer, Jungee carried on his distinguished service in various assignments before retiring prematurely as a Commodore in 1986. He was the Commanding Officer INS Chilka in early eighties training our sailors in their formative phase. I am sure his life story in all its aspects would have been an inspiration for those who passed through its portals at that time. His sterling career was also embellished by his reputation as a good singer, as a yachtsman and as the leader of Navy’s marching contingent on Republic Day 1975. He continued his love for sea by doing almost a decade’s stint with Mazagon Docks Limited in shipbuilding and then in the private maritime sector before finally calling it a day.
Variously praised for his ‘warmth as a friend, a source of joy and inspiration and an example to emulate', for his ‘indomitable determination’ and for his ‘combative, uncompromising, pugnacious nature’ Jungee lived a full and rewarding life. In Jun this year, when seriously ill he fought his way out and recovered to celebrate his 89th birthday on 06 Aug. I had the great honour of meeting him on Killers Nite in 2019 and ever since had been in occasional touch with him and his family. That meeting led to an article about him on Navy Day 2020 in @DailyGuardian1.
For a more detailed account of his life do read the piece below. 👇🏻

Historical Trivia - Jungee, as a sailor on INS Mysore, was the coxswain of the Captain SM (Charles) Nanda, who encouraged him to study and aim to become an officer. Charles Nanda and IJ Sharma both had ancestral roots in Pakistan. That as an officer, many years later, Jungee played the opening act in Nanda’s grand design is testimony of destiny’s great hand.
Sail well brave Sailor. Valhalla awaits you.

@singhshwetabh71 Not only that, even if half the numbers of total interceptions reported during the conflict turn out true that would be a clear A2A domination by IAF too. This is the #OpTrident of AF. This has given a forever scared to their airforce.
Op Trident Nite...

Dec 4 1971, 1st day of the war during #OpTrident, US Ship MV Venus Challenger carrying arms to Pak was shot down. Karachi Oil Refineries were set on fire. So Pak ran short of arms and fuel. My father said both these factors contributed to an early ceasefire

Finally Indian Navy’s #OpTrident of the #1971 war getting the grand cinematic representation that it deserves! India needs to continue showcase stories of valour and sacrifice of women and men in uniform. Hopefully, Indian cinema would live upto expectations. #LestWeForget
Bold and Audacious. Indian Navy lit the biggest bonfire in the Arabian Sea during its attack on Karachi harbour in 1971. The movie will bring the story of a handful of ships achieving the impossible to the masses. Being made by the biggest production houses in the country👏🏾👏🏾
