Visakhapatnam: Vice-Admiral H C S Bisht will assume charge of the Command of the Eastern Naval Command on Monday from outgoing
Vice-Admiral Satish Soni, who will be retiring from the Naval service on completion of 40 years of illustrious career.
The Eastern seaboard has gained prominence in the recent past as exemplified by new acquisitions in all three dimensions that were
inducted into the Eastern Naval Command in recent times taking it to the regional centre stage in consonance with the nation’s ‘Look East
and Act East Policy’.
The successful conduct of the International Fleet Review-2016 (IFR) under the helm of Vice-Admiral Satish Soni with the participation of
50 nations and 24 foreign naval ships is a testimony to this significant transition.
An alumnus of the National Defence Academy, Vice-Admiral Bisht was commissioned into the Indian Navy on July 1, 1979. A graduate
from the Royal Naval Staff College, Greenwich, UK, he had also attended the Naval Higher Command Course at the College of Naval
Warfare, Mumbai in 2001 and completed the 47th NDC course in New Delhi in 2007. His important afloat appointments include Executive
Officer of the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Corvette INS Ajay, Commander Work-up in the Indian Naval Work-up Team at Kochi, Fleet
Gunnery Officer of the Eastern Fleet, Visakhapatnam, commissioning Commanding Officer of the missile corvette INS Kora and command
of the stealth frigate, INS Tabar.
