The Indo-Pakistani Naval war of 1971 consisted of a series of
naval battles fought between the Indian and Pakistani Navies
during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The battles were a
part of the India-Pakistan War and the Bangladesh Liberation
War. The series of naval operations began with the Indian
Navy exerting pressure from the seas, while the Indian Army
and Indian Air Force moved in to close the ring round East
Pakistan on land. The naval operations incorporated
the naval interdiction, air defence, ground support, and
logistics missions.
With the success of the Indian Navy's operations in East
Pakistan, the Indian Navy commenced two large-scale
operations, Operation Trident and Operation Python on the
Western front, prior to the start of formal conflict between
India and Pakistan.

Operation Trident and the follow-up Operation Python were

offensive operations launched by the Indian Navy on
Pakistan's port city of Karachi during the Indo-Pakistani War
of 1971. Operation Trident saw the first use of anti-ship
missiles in combat in the region. The operation was
conducted on the night of 4–5 December and inflicted heavy
damage on Pakistani vessels and facilities. While India
suffered no losses, Pakistan lost a minesweeper, a destroyer,
a cargo vessel carrying ammunition, and fuel storage tanks
in Karachi. Another destroyer was also badly damaged and
eventually scrapped. India celebrates its Navy Day annually
on 4 December to mark this operation.
