India’s Initial All-Female Fast Producers Arranged To be able to Navigate The complete Planet In mere a hundred and eighty Days to weeks.


Have you heard about Abhilash Tomy? He was the first Indian and the second Asian to circumnavigate the whole globe, nonstop and he began his journey on November 2012. Well, we have an all-women navy crew doing the same. Lieutenant Devi talked about her passion for the sea. In my school days, I never thought I would join the Navy. I wanted to be an English teacher but then was driven to Indian Navy by passion thanks to my days in Delhi University. Today, I’m happy that I have been included in the team undergoing training for the Navy’s mission to send an all-women team to circumnavigate the globe. The vessel has the capacity to store 12,000 litres of drinking water. Using a reverse osmosis plant, the seawater will be converted to drinking water. Also, the five of them cook turn by turn, so there is a huge variety of food available.



The team is undergoing physical and mental fitness to survive in the 180-days long journey.

The crew participated in the International Fleet review from Vishakhapatnam, the place where their sail journey originated on February 9. They stopped at Chennai and Kochi to reach Goa.

“A boat or the sea doesn’t differentiate between a man and a woman and there are no shortcuts to the physical and mental fitness required to sail the open seas,” says Lt. Commander Vartika Joshi.

The team is working diligently on their mental and physical fitness training.
