Navies and Oceans: Global Politics and Changing Dynamics at Sea

摘要

Recently (in the month of September) a major naval exercise involving the ships of the United States and Indian navies took place in the Bay of Bengal. Although the US and India have, in the last six/seven years, been holding small low-key joint military exercises, both at land, sea and in the air, this particular exercise has a special significance in the overall context of maritime developments in the region. It was a very large scale peace-time exercise and the first of its kind between the US and Indian navies.
