According to media reports, the flying of the tricolour atop these ships in front of prominent local dignitaries and members of the Indian diaspora would be the most significant activity. At the Commonwealth Memorial gates in London (UK), the crew of the INS Tarangini paid homage to the Indian soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during the two World Wars. Meanwhile, a formal wreath-laying ceremony by the navy ship crew and delegation is planned for Singapore's Kranji War Memorial and the INA Marker. 

Further, the Indian Navy is also expected to join the inauguration ceremony of a memorial pillar in the Taita Taveta region's Battlefield area in Kenya's Mombassa city, where Indian soldiers battled and gave their lives while serving in the East Africa campaign of World War I. Along with battlefield tours, a travelling exhibit, and a Light and Sound display at Fort Jesus, the commemorative activities will also focus on the role played by Indian soldiers in World War One and India's struggle for independence, ANI reported.
