The Indian Navy is planning to deploy a naval task group comprising four frontline warships to the South China Sea, Western Pacific and South East Asia in a significant move aimed at enhancing its profile in the strategically key sea lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will be the second consecutive year when navies of all four member countries of Quad or the Quadrilateral coalition will carry out the mega naval wargame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ships are also scheduled to carry out bilateral exercises with the navies of Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
