The Navy Week is celebrated every year during the first week of December to commemorate the Indian Navy’s decisive victory in the 1971 Indo-Pak conflict.  Various activities to be held in the Navy Week 2009 include Public Performance by the Naval Band at Joggers’ Park, Rotary Club Kandivali and Karanja on 14, 15 and 21 Nov 09, Open Sea Swimming Competition on 29 Nov 09, Indian Museum Ship IMS Vikrant will be open to visitors from 27 Nov to 06 Dec 09, Boatrides for the Special Children on 01 Dec 09 and Senior Citizens on 02 Dec 09 , Band Concerts at the Mulla Auditorium, Navy Nagar on 28 and 29 Nov 09 and Beating Retreat I and II on 03 and 04 Dec 09 respectively.

These celebrations culminate with the spectacular NAVY BALL.   Over the years, Navy Ball has come to be a milestone on the social calendar of Mumbai.  The event is presented in all its élan, precision and style that is typical of the Indian Navy.  Navy Ball endeavours to bring together, a wide cross section of society ranging from policy makers to prominent industrialists, diplomats to socialites and Bollywood personalities to senior defence officials, with the aim of strengthening the spirit of unity and national pride.

The jewel in the crown is crowning of the Navy Queen in a contest, which is open for the beautiful young Indian women to display their elegant personalities. It would be our endeavour to make the Navy Ball 2009, which is planned to be held on Saturday 05 December 2009 at Western Naval Command Officers Mess, Colaba, an event to remember and provide an excellent exposure for upcoming models.
