INS BAAZ commissioned in Campbell Bay

With the Indian Navy Chief Admiral Nirmal Verma formally opening INS Baaz, India’s southernmost naval air station on July 31 at Cambell Bay in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the country acquired increased ability to mount hawk-like vigil on the vital maritime channel – the Strait of Malacca.
Describing INS Baaz as being “blessed with a brilliant strategic location’’, Admiral Verma said that the location at Cambell Bay, overlooking the Strait of Malacca and also dominating the 6 degree channel would provide an eagle’s eye view over the crucial waterways.
