India needs a modern navy in order to stay ahead of the increasing geopolitical competition in the Indian Ocean and to fight security threats. Admiral Alfred T. Mahan, the founding geopolitical theorist of maritime domination, emphasized the strategic importance of the Indian Ocean with these words: “whoever achieves naval supremacy in the Indian Ocean will be a major player on the international area.”
