With the Indian Navy Chief Admiral Nirmal Verma formally opening INS
Baaz, India’s southernmost naval air station on July 31 at Cambell Bay
in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the country acquired increased ability
to mount hawk-like vigil on the vital maritime channel – the Strait of
Malacca.
Describing INS Baaz as being “blessed with a brilliant strategic
location’’, Admiral Verma said that the location at Cambell Bay,
overlooking the Strait of Malacca and also dominating the 6 degree
channel would provide an eagle’s eye view over the crucial waterways.
