Production : Eyedea Advertising, Designbox 4 5 From the Editor’s Desk Different and yet same - this is how many veterans describe the service which keeps its traditions and foundations intact while embracing technological advances. An amalgam of news and views, reminiscences and thought provoking tributes, Quarterdeck 2019 is a composite unit that adheres to the Indian Navy’s ethos of building on traditions while keeping pace with time. The Indian Naval Ship is a complete entity when it sets sail with personnel who are trained for resilience, endurance and problem solving while respecting nature and the laws of the seas. It requires vision and foresight as well as a spirit of inclusiveness for a tall mast boat like “Tarini” that epitomizes ‘Made in India’ to circumnavigate the globe with an all women crew. As Admiral Sunil Lanba, Chief of the Naval Staff said on the occasion, “Today India is #TeamTarini. We are all sailors. And the Indian Flag and Naval Ensign flutter high and proud.” Bridges of friendship built through such expeditions showcase the Indian Navy’s grit and mettle as much as its diplomatic side while bringing the world closer! “We may be out of the Navy but the Navy is never out of us,” is an adage our respected veterans live by as they share memories full of TRIBUTE josh and camaraderie to give us a peep into a rich past. Their esprit de corps is evident in the activities of the various chapters making them the true ambassadors of the Navy’s traditions of courage and compassion. This edition of QD 2019 opens with tributes and outpourings from the Naval fraternity to mark the passing away of two legends of the Navy – Admiral Nadkarni and Vice Admiral Awati. Subsequent pages explore various facets of Navy history and culture through articles that span the Diamond Saga of Signal School, the Golden Jubilee of WNC and the sun setting on the majestic INS Ganga. While humour in uniform inevitably adds that dash of pizzazz to QD, a deep look at our history and an eye on the future defines the spirit of Quarterdeck 2019. This magazine is about you and your stories so please continue sharing articles and suggestions and keep the flag flying high.
