INS Tabar Exercises with Italian Navy Off Naples

As part of the ongoing deployment to the Mediterranean, INS Tabar entered the Port of Naples, Italy on 3 July 21.

A press release from the Navy stated, “The ship was accorded a warm welcome by the Italian Navy and during the stay in port, the Commanding Officer called on the senior officers of the Prefect of Naples Authority, the regional Italian Navy Headquarters and the Coast Guard Headquarters at Naples.”




On departure from port, the ship also undertook a Maritime Partnership Exercise with ITS Antonio Marceglia (F 597), a frontline frigate of the Italian Navy, on 4 and 5 July 2021 in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The exercise covered a wide range of naval operations including air defence procedures, replenishment at sea, communication drills and cross deck helo operations by day and night. The exercise was mutually beneficial in enhancing interoperability and towards consolidating combined operations against maritime threats. The exercise culminated with a ‘Steam Past’ by the two ships, as per the naval custom.
