President's Fleet Review at Mumbai on December 20,2011

The Indian Naval Fleet,along with ships from other maritime agencies is reviewed by the President of India once during his/her term.
The Review is a symbolic gesture of reaffirming the country's faith in the Fleet's readiness to preserve,promote and protect India's maritime interests.
The 10th such review took place on December 20,2011 in Mumbai.
One of the unique features of this review was that the Supreme Commander is a lady and this itself made the occasion unprecedented.
The President of India,Smt.Pratibha Devi Singh Patil has flown in a Sukhoi Su-30 MKI and shewas recently seated atop a tank in the Thar desert visiting a strike formation on exercise.She has been to the aircraft carrier,INS Viraat before and received by both fleets individually but this event ,PFR 2011, tops them all with its combination of charm,magnificence and sheer power projection.
There were more than 70 ships combined of both fleets,from the Mumbai flotilla's Missile Boat squadron,from the Coast Guard,sailing vessels and representative ships from the Shipping Corporation of India.
The fleet ships were all ships of the line and watching them anchored in line guaranteed a spine tingling sensation.
But more of that later.
A quick overview of the ships in the various columns.

The Presidential Yacht was INS Subhadra, a Sukanya class Offshore Patrol Vessel(OPV) commanded by Cdr Viresh Das.
