The Indian Navy (Devan?gar?: ?????? ?? ????, Bhartiya N?u Sen?) is the naval branch (navy) of the armed forces of India (Indian Armed Forces). It currently has approximately 56,000 personnel on active duty, including 5,000 members of the naval aviation branch, 2,000 marine commandos (MARCOS (India)) and 1,000 Sagar Prahari Bal soldiers, making it the worlds fifth largest navy in terms of personnel. The Indian Navy currently operates more than 155 vessels, including the aircraft carrier INS Viraat (INS Viraat (R22)), along with operational jet fighters.
Though the primary objective of the navy is to secure national maritime borders, India also uses its navy to enhance its international relations (Foreign relations of India) through joint exercises, port visits and humanitarian missions, including disaster relief. In recent years, the Indian Navy has undergone extensive modernization and expansion (Indian Navy#Ongoing expansion) with an intention to increase its capabilities as a recognized blue-water navy.
