Indian Navy generally recruits people to its executive branch and sailor branch. The path to Command is through the executive Branch. Only sea going officers of the executive Branch can exercise command of ships, submarines and aircraft. Seaman Officers can specialize in gunnery & missiles, navigation and direction, anti-submarine warfare, communications, aviation, submarine, hydrography, and diving.
Engineering Branch
Modern ships, submarines and aircraft
are equpid with advanced technology, machinery and propulsion systems.
The Engineer-officer is responsible for keeping all these systems
serviceable. Opportunities to work in shore jobs in naval dockyards and
indigenous production units also exit.
In no other career is an
engineer exposed to such a wide spectrum of opportunities to keep
abreast of modern development. An Engineer Officer’s career is
interspersed with technical courses up to post graduation level in
India/abroad. Naval Architects specialise in warship construction.
Electrical Branch
A
warship is a mini floating city with an integral power generation and
distribution system. In addition, complex missile systems, underwater
weapons, radars and radio communication equipment form major part of a
warship’s equipment.
A majority of these are either computer-based or
computer aided and incorporate the latest trends in electronics
engineering. For a ship to be able to fight effectively, all this
equipment must be kept working at peak efficiency. Electrical Officers
have this responsibility and other challenging tasks. The navy also
offers excellent opportunities for post-graduate courses in
India/abroad.
Submarine branch
These
new hi-tech war machines have awesome firepower, state-of-the art
weapon control systems, computer controlled machinery and a high
standard of habitability. One major responsibility of the submarines in
peace time is to train for war as effectively as possible in the
knowledge that this will contribute to its prevention.
If you
successfully complete the rigorous training, which is conducted at
Visakhapatnam, you will be the proud possessor of the ‘Dolphin Badge’
and a member of a very elite arm of the Navy.
