- It is the first-ever Tri-service all-women circumnavigation sailing expedition.
- Nine women officers of the three Services returned to Mumbai aboard the Indian Army Sailing Vessel (IASV) Triveni.
- It was after completing a 314-day voyage covering over twenty-five thousand nautical miles across four oceans.
- The expedition successfully fulfilled all internationally recognised criteria for a circumnavigation by crossing all meridians of longitude, crossing the Equator twice, crossing the International Date Line and rounding the Three Great Capes - Cape Leeuwin, Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope.
- The successful passage through the formidable Drake Passage and rounding of Cape Horn earned the crew membership of the prestigious fraternity of Cape Horner.
- The Government described the completion of the expedition as a testament to India’s Nari Shakti, and a symbol of the nation’s resolve.
- The expedition brought together officers from the Army, Navy and Air Force on a single mission.
