History

After the 1962 Sino-Indian War, the Navy was tasked with the defence of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Preparations for setting up naval establishments on the islands started in November 1962. In mid 1963, the first naval garrison of 5 officers and 156 sailors arrived in Port Blair. After the Seaward class defense boats were deployed to the islands, a maintenance and repair facility was created to support these small craft. INS Jarawa was then commissioned in 1964 as the base to oversee all naval operations on the islands.[2] The base is named for the indigenous adivasi Jarawa tribe of the Andaman islands.

INS <i>Magar</i>, an amphibious warfare ship, was the first major vessel to have INS Jarawa as its home port. Construction of a naval wharf for the base started in 1968. Comprehensive ship repair facilities were commissioned at the base in 1979.

On 6 November 2002, the 180 meter long floating drydock FDN1 sank in 24 meters of water off Port Blair. Only the dock crane tops remained above water. A Svitzer Salvage team from Singapore and The Netherlands, aided by the salvage vessel Perdana Sakti, was engaged to refloat the drydock. After a 3-day lifting operation, the drydock was returned to the Indian Navy on 15 February 2003.[7]

Band

The INS Jarawa Band is currently attached to the ship and based in Port Blair.[8] The band was created in 1985 and has been a key component of military-civil relations in the city. It performed at various venues such as Raj Niwas, Port Blair, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island, Marina Park. It also performs its standard music at Republic Day and Independence Day parades as well as during international events and good-will visits of Indian and foreign warships.[9][10][11]
