Its origin can be traced back to the 1965 hostilities with Pakistan. On 07 Sep 1965, a flotilla of the Pakistan Navy, carried out bombardment on Dwarka town with the objective of disabling the radar station there. Although the limited engagement caused insignificant damage of no strategic value, the Indian Navy realized the inevitable requirement to establish a forward outpost nearer to Pakistan. As a result, a small forward outpost was created in Feb 1966 at Port Okha under Naval Officer-in-Charge (Kathiawar). On 26 Nov 1972, this small outpost comprising four officer and 59 sailors was commissioned as INS Dwarka in its present location. NOIC (Kathiawar) was re-designated as NOIC (Saurashtra) on 07 Jul 1983. In Mar 1985, the office of NOIC (Saurashtra) was bifurcated and an officer of the rank of Commander was appointed as Commanding Officer, INS Dwarka. It is currently under the operational and administrative command of NOIC (Gujarat). ObjectiveThe primary role of INS Dwarka is defence of Port Okha and to provide infrastructure, operation logistics and diving support to naval ships. It helps in maintaining surveillance of north Arabian Sea and other deep water channels. It also provides administrative and logistic support to all units of the Indian Coast Guard stationed at Okha Coast Guard Station. It helps in coordination of patrolling by Sagar Prahari Bal and Gujarat Marine Police training. See also
