The Indian Navy’s three-masted sail training ship INS Sudarshini departed Salalah, Oman, post her visit from 14- 17 Oct 2026, continuing her historic transoceanic deployment, Lokayan-2026. The voyage reflects the Indian Navy’s rich maritime heritage and its commitment to nurturing professional seamanship, resilience and leadership among naval trainees.

During the port call, professional interactions and sporting engagements fostered camaraderie and reinforced bonds of friendship between the Indian Navy and the Royal Navy of Oman, further strengthening people-to-people ties.

As Lokayan-2026 progresses through its tenth month, INS Sudarshini’s voyage exemplifies the Indian Navy’s spirit of exploration, professional excellence and commitment to maritime diplomacy. Traversing international waters, the ship serves as an ambassador of India, fostering goodwill and maritime partnerships while carrying the civilisational ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam and advancing the vision of MAHASAGAR (Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions).
