Indian Navy Chief Visits Maritime Heritage Complex in Gujarat
Imagine a big museum being built to show how India used to travel and trade on the sea!
The Chief of the Indian Navy went to visit this museum, called the National Maritime Heritage Complex, in Gujarat.
He saw cool old things like warships and planes, and he checked how the building is going.
This museum is really big, about the size of 400 football fields, and it's going to show everyone how important the sea was to India a long, long time ago.
The Navy is helping with the museum, making sure everything is just right.
The Chief was happy with how things are going and wants everyone to keep up the good work so we can all learn about India's amazing history on the water.
