NOTICE BOARD (.) MADHU'S MESSAGE NO.19 (.)  THE SUCCEFUL COMPLETION OF TARANGINI’S CIRCUMNAVIGATION VOYAGE IS A TRIBUTE TO THE GRIT AND DETERMINATION OF HER VARIOUS CREWS IN BATTLING WIND AND WAVE (.) IT ALSO STANDS IN TESTIMONY TO THE OPERATIONAL PLANNING ABILITY OF THE NAVAL STAFF AND THE PROFICIENCY OF OUR MAINTENANCE AND LOGISTICS PERSONNEL WHO HAVE PROVIDED CONTINUOUS SUPPORT AND SUSTENANCE TO TARANGINI AROUND THE GLOBE

2(.) TARANGINI’S WAKE OF 34,923 NM HAS CROSSED EVERY DEGREE OF LONGITUDE AND CUT ACROSS MAJOR WATER BODIES BETWEEN THE LATITUDES Of 49 DEG 30 MIN N AND 18 DEG 09 MIN S (.) DURING THE CIRCUMNAVIGATION, TARANGINI’S EVERY NEED WAS MET, THUS DEMONSTRATING OUR NAVY'S SKILL IN SUPPORTING A SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AND MAINTAINING CONTINUOUS HIGH SPEED COMMUNICATION LINKS WITH HER

3(.)  TARANGINI PROVED HERSELF A WORTHY AMBASSADOR AT 37 PORTS IN 18 COUNTRIES, AND IN TRAINING 19 FOREIGN OFFICERS (.) SHE STRENGTHENED EXISTING BRIDGES OF FRIENDSHIP, RENEWED OLD BUT NOT FORGOTTEN ONES, AND BUILT NEW BRIDGES WHERE NONE EXISTED EARLIER (.) HER SUCCESSES IN THE GREAT LAKES HAVE GIVEN US MUCH TO BE PROUD OF

4(.)  ABOVE ALL, SHE HAS IMBUED A SENSE OF ADVENTURE AND PATRIOTISM AMONG 240 CADETS, MIDSHIPMEN AND SUB LIEUTENANTS WHO ARE THE FUTURE LEADERS OF OUR NAVY (.) THE LESSONS THEY HAVE LEARNT, AND THE CONFIDENCE THEY HAVE ACQUIRED, WILL STAND THEM IN GOOD STEAD AS THEY SAIL THE OCEANS WITH PRIDE

5(.) BRAVO ZULU TO ALL THOSE WHO MADE TARANGINI’S CIRCUMNAVIGATION POSSIBLE AND TO THE INTREPID OFFICERS, SAILORS AND OTHERS WHO SAILED HER
