INS Tarini was the sailing vessel used by Lieutenant Commander Roopa A and Lieutenant Commander Dilna K of the Indian Navy to accomplish a historic circumnavigation of the globe under the Navika Sagar Parikrama II mission. The journey, lasting eight months and covering 25,400 nautical miles, stands as a remarkable testament to both seamanship and Nari Shakti. The mission promoted gender inclusion, maritime capability, and India’s commitment to oceanic exploration. Facing extreme weather, the crew navigated the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, stopping at critical global ports before returning to Mormugao Port in Goa for the flag-in ceremony on May 29, 2025.
