Speaking to ANI, Harish said, “We left India in mid-June. We travelled in five countries before landing here in London. It’s been a rollercoaster ride in terms of the different countries that we visited and the terrain, people, and culture. Starting from Africa to Europe, to the Baltic seas, to Russia, and back to London, it has been an informative learning experience for us. We operated with all the navies of the countries we visited and learnt a lot from all of them.”

In a post on X, the Indian Navy said, “Admiral Sir Ben Key, First Sea Lord & Chief of Naval Staff, @RoyalNavy visited #INSTabar during her stay in London, UK.
