Comment: Should be notable, passes WP:GNG. The text is a little too informal, needs a massive cleanup before being accepted. Bkissin (talk) 14:48, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
INS Netaji Subhas is the a base depot ship in the Indian Navy. It is a shore establishment that provides administrative and logistics support to visiting Indian Navy ships, submarines, aircraft and other allied and foreign navy units at the Kolkata and Haldia ports. The base also provides support to its allied units like WOT (Kolkata), Naval Armament Inspectorate, Electrical and Machinery Trials Unit, Machinery Trials Unit, NLC, Services Selection Board(DH) and 5N DET and all Sainik Schools and NCC Units in State of West Bengal and North East States.[1]
The base has six motorboats including two fast interceptor craft (FICs) operating directly under NOIC (West Bengal).[2][3]
The crest of the unit depicts the Red Fort against a blue background in the top half and light green foreground in the bottom half. The Naval Officer-in-Charge (NOIC) is Commodore Rituraj Sahu.[4] The unit also undertakes annual ex-servicemen meets where matters concerning ESM Welfare such as pension, healthcare, career counselling and common grievances are discussed.[5]
History
The Naval Base in the port city of erstwhile Calcutta (now Kolkata) began, prior to World War II, with a small HMI Naval Office under a Naval Control of Shipping Officer, in the then Marine House. The strategic importance of the port of Calcutta during World War II made it necessary for the Allied presence in India to bring up a naval presence to safeguard and strengthen its maritime assets in East India which would also augment the capability to provide logistic support to Allied Units and later Indian Naval Ships operating in the Bay of Bengal. Thus from Marine House in 1940 to a more conspicuous HMIS Hoogly in 1943 to INS Hoogly port Independence grew the Naval footprint in the East. With INS Hoogly being rechristened INS Netaji Subhas in 05 July 1974, the base witnessed a gradual metamorphosis with the growing importance of the Eastern Seaboard in relation to trade, security and diplomacy.[6]
