What is the name of the major base of the Indian Navy at Karwar ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The major Indian Navy base located at Karwar in Karnataka is INS Kadamba [2]. Commissioned on May 31, 2005, it was developed under the codename 'Project Seabird' to decongest Mumbai and provide a strategic deep-water port on the western seaboard [2]. It is currently one of the largest naval infrastructure projects in India and is expected to become the largest naval base in Asia upon completion of its expansion phases. The base features advanced facilities, including a unique ship-lift system for docking and undocking vessels [2]. While INS Vikramaditya is an aircraft carrier that is home-ported at Karwar, the base itself is named INS Kadamba. The location is strategically significant due to its proximity to major shipping routes between the Persian Gulf and East Asia.
