Navy Day thus returns to its usual celebration in a locality, after two years in which it was celebrated with an online program, due to the pandemic.
Navy Day is celebrated in honor of the feat of Vasco da Gama who, on May 20, 1498, for the first time in history, connected Europe to the East by sea, with his arrival in Calicut, India.
