The Journey and Challenges Faced
Starting on April 7, 2025, the 11 women officers encountered difficult sea conditions, unpredictable weather, equipment challenges, and fatigue. Their resilience and teamwork helped them overcome these obstacles while strengthening their bond and proving their mettle.

Diplomatic Engagements in Seychelles
