| Summary / Abstract (Note) | I spent about a third of my three decade-long innings with the Indian Navy on training jobs. These included what was called Sub of the Gun or being the nursemaid to freshly inducted direct entry acting sub lieutenants on the training ship INS Cauvery, command of the cadet training ship INS Beas and Commandant of the Naval Academy at INS Mandovi. The primary task during the first two tenures listed was to make the trainees' experience the basics of seafaring on their first exposure to a ship and the sea, or provide them with their - 'sea legs' - in nautical parlance. |
