== Navika Sagar Parikrama ==

[[Navika Sagar Parikrama]] is the name of [[Exploration|expedition]] for [[circumnavigation]] the [[globe]] on INSV Tarini by Indian Navy's Women Naval Officers. The six-member all-woman team, led by Lieutenant Commander Vartika Goshi and composed of Lt Commander Vartika Goshi, Lt Commander Pratibha Jamwal, Lt Commander Swati P, Lieutenant Aishwarya Boddapati, Lieutenant S Vijaya Devi and Lieutenant Payal Gupta, circumnavigated and manage the whole operation in this first ever global journey. The voyage which lasted for 254 days, covered 21600 miles, had 5 port calls in [[Fremantle]] [[Australia]]; [[Lyttelton, New Zealand]]; [[Port Stanley]], [[Falklands]], [[Cape Town]], [[South Africa]] and finally at [[Mauritius]] before returning home to [[Goa]]. All six members of the crew were trained for about one year under Captain [[Dilip Donde]], who is also the first Indian to successfully carry out solo-circumnavigation of the globe between 2009 and 2010.

The women had to face strong winds of more than 60 knots and very high waves of up to 7 metres. In addition to successfully circumnavigating the globe the crew also collected and updated meteorological, ocean and wave data on a regular basis for accurate weather forecasts by the National Centre For Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) and the Indian Meteorological Department and reported [[marine pollution]] on the high seas.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiannavy.nic.in/content/navika-sagar-parikrama-circumnavigating-globe-indian-built-sail-boat-insv-tarini-women-naval|title=All about Navika Sagar Parikrama: Indian Navy's all-women team}}</ref>
