Victory at Sea Memorial - Visakhapatnam

In 1971, there was a war between India and Pakistan. The war ultimately resulted in the liberation of East Pakistan and the formation of a new country, Bangladesh. The sinking of Pakistani submarine PNS Ghazi by the Indian Navy is considered as the high light of the war. It happened in Visakhapatnam port. To commemorate this victory, the Victory at Sea Memorial was built in 1996. The memorial is dedicated to the Indian Navy and its sailors. It is located on RK Beach Road.

Happy travelling.
