The Navika Sagar Parikrama crew meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi
Navika Sagar Parikrama (lit.'Sailors' Sea Circumambulation') was a circumnavigation of the globe by female officers of the Indian Navy. The six-member all-woman team circumnavigated and managed the whole operation in their first-ever global journey, on INSV Tarini. The voyage lasted 254 days, from 10 September 2017 to 21 May 2018, with only 4 port calls, in Fremantle, Australia; Lyttelton, New Zealand; Port Stanley, Falkland Islands; and Cape Town, South Africa, and a forced technical halt at Port Louis, Mauritius, crossing the equator twice and passing through 3 oceans.[1][2] The voyage was originally set to start on September 5, 2017, but a 5-day delay happened so that Nirmala Sitharaman, who was recently appointed defense minister, could flag off the crew.[3] The boat returned to INS Mandovi in Goa after travelling 21,600 nautical miles (40,000 km; 24,900 mi).[4] The voyage was showcased in Tarini, a documentary jointly produced by National Geographic and the Indian Navy, premiering at an event at Lady Shri Ram College on 8 March to mark International Women's Day.[5] The voyage prompted National Geographic to start the "Girls Who Sailed" campaign, to tell tales of "grit and determination".[6]
