In May 2016, INSV Mhadei set sail for a voyage to Port Louis in Mauritius. Which one of the following statements about this voyage is not correct?

Explanation

In May 2016, the Indian Navy's sailing vessel INSV Mhadei undertook a historic voyage from Goa to Port Louis, Mauritius. This was the first open-ocean voyage of the Indian Navy's all-women crew. The journey served as a training voyage to prepare the crew for their subsequent circumnavigation of the globe (Navika Sagar Parikrama). The crew consisted of six members: Lt Cdr Vartika Joshi, Lt P. Swathi, Lt Pratibha Jamwal, Lt Vijaya Devi, Lt Payal Gupta, and Lt B. Aishwarya. According to official records from the Press Information Bureau (PIB) and the Indian Navy, the boat was skippered by Lieutenant Commander Vartika Joshi. Therefore, statement D is incorrect as it identifies Lieutenant P. Swathi as the skipper.
