| Admiral Suthan to take over Eastern Naval Command | | |
Jammu, April 19 Vice Admiral Raman P Suthan, will assume command of the premier Eastern Naval Command, one of the two operational commands of the Indian Navy, on 30th of this month. He will take over from Vice Admiral A K Singh, who retires on that date.
Eastern seaboard has gained prominence in the recent past and this is witnessed by the increasing engagement with immediate regional neighbours like Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand and other States of South East Asia. The Eastern Fleet is on overseas deployment and the ships have just completed a visit to China and Japan to exercise with their ships. All this is in consonance with the ‘Look East Policy’ of our country. The Indian Navy will be exercising with US Fleet in the Bay of Bengal shortly.
Admiral Suthan takes over the Eastern Naval command after two years stint in Delhi. He took over his present appointment as Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff on July 24 last year when “Operation - Sukoon” (evacuation of civilians) from Beirut to Larnaca was in full swing.
The prompt response by the Indian Navy has won admiration, the world over, a defence handout said.
