In what is being considered a watershed moment in the history of the Indian Naval, a woman officer has been appointed as commanding officer in a warship, said Navy Chief Admiral R Hari Kumar on Friday.
The step is in sync with the navy’s philosophies of ‘all roles-all ranks’ for female personnel, told the chief admiral to reporters at a press conference.
“We appointed the first woman commanding officer of an Indian naval ship,” said the navy chief to the news agency, PTI.
