Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: IASV Triveni. Samudra Pradakshina is India's first tri-service women circumnavigation sailing expedition. The expedition involved 9 women officers from the Indian Army, Indian Navy, and Indian Air Force. The mission was flagged off on 11 September 2025 and concluded on 22 July 2026 in Mumbai. The expedition was conducted aboard the Indian Army Sailing Vessel (IASV) Triveni, an indigenously built 50-foot sailing vessel. The crew completed a 314-day voyage, covering approximately 25,500 nautical miles across 4 oceans. The expedition achieved a true circumnavigation by crossing all meridians, the Equator twice, the International Date Line, and rounding Cape Leeuwin, Cape Horn, and the Cape of Good Hope. The successful navigation of the Drake Passage and Cape Horn qualified the crew for membership in the Cape Horners Society. The expedition showcased Nari Shakti, tri-service cooperation, indigenous maritime capability, and the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
