INS India – base depot ship of Indian Navy at New Delhi celebrates Platinum Jubilee

New Delhi, Jul 13 (IBNS): INS India, the Indian Navy's base depot ship at New Delhi, celebrated its 75th anniversary on Wednesday.
Established as HMIS India in 1941, it was rechristened as INS India on January 26, 1950. 
 
The Base Depot ship (stone ship in naval parlance) has the privilege of being the Flagship of the Chief of the Naval Staff. 
 
Started as small unit with a complement of just a handful of officers and sailors, INS India is now a major establishment in New Delhi with a plethora of duties and responsibilities. In addition, the establishment provides administrative and logistics cover to all officers and sailors borne in Naval Headquarters and other units at Delhi.
 
As a run up to celebrate this grand occasion, a series of events were organised. A Health Run and a Dream Walk was organised on July 10, 2016 for Naval personnel and their families. In the evening, a traditional barakhana was organised for sailors and their families.  
 
A blood donation camp was also organised on July 12, 2016 wherein 128  units of blood was collected from volunteers ranging from Flag Officers, Officers, sailors, Defence Civilians and their families. 
 
During 75 years of transition of HMIS India to the present INS India, the establishment has seen as many as 32 Commanding Officers.
