13. The Indo-Pakistani War Naval Blockade (1971)
During the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War, India’s Navy imposed a comprehensive blockade on East Pakistan’s ports, effectively cutting off supplies and isolating Pakistani forces. This strategic move, coupled with airstrikes from the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, significantly weakened Pakistan’s military capabilities. The blockade played a crucial role in hastening the war’s conclusion and underscored the importance of maritime dominance in regional conflicts (bharat-rakshak.com).
