Image for representation purposes only<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn a first for the Indian Navy, a brother and sister duo are together commanding two different warships. Commander Prerna Deosthalee Commander and Ishan Deosthalee have created history by taking on this responsibility.<\/p>\n
Last year, Commander Prerna Deosthalee became the first female commander in the Indian Navy to be given command of a warship.<\/p>\n
She is currently in command of INS Trinkat, a fast attack craft part of the Western Command. Her leadership reflects the Navy\u2019s progressive approach to gender inclusiveness.<\/p>\n
Commander Ishan Deosthalee, her brother, was recently appointed as the commander of the Indian Navy\u2019s Veer-class missile ship, INS Vibhuti.<\/p>\n
INS Vibhuti is a valuable asset to the fleet, having taken part in a steam past witnessed by President Droupadi Murmu off the coast of Goa in the Arabian Sea. Both siblings are currently serving under the Western Command.<\/p>\n
On November 7, President Droupadi Murmu visited the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant and attended an operational demonstration by the Navy alongside Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, the Chief of Naval Staff.<\/p>\n
In her speech, she praised the Navy\u2019s strategic reach and capabilities, adding that the Indian Navy units are deployed across vast areas for extended durations, showing their capabilities and strategic influence.<\/p>\n
She further recalled the moment when the Bulgarian president called her to express gratitude for rescuing the Bulgarian crew from a hijacked vessel earlier this year.<\/p>\n
