On 10 January 2007, INS Tarangini started for another overseas voyage of ten month duration named Lokayan 07. In all the Tarangini will be calling on 23 ports in 16 countries on this voyage. The ship departed Kochi on 10 January 2007 and transited through the Suez Canal to reach the Atlantic Coast of North America. The ship participated in a series of Tall Ship events such as The World Peace Cup, Maritime Festival of Charleston, Sail Virginia, Sail Rhode Island and Sail Boston and returned to port on October 2007 after covering 22,000 nautical miles (41,000 km). Sail training ships are increasingly being used as basic seamanship and character Sailing platforms provide an ideal setting to provide first hand experience of the vagaries at sea to cadets embarking on a naval career. All sailing manoeuvres require experience of the basic elements of marine environment viz wind and weather. They also need nicety of judgement and that indefinable quality of Sea Sense, which a sailing ship demands. INS Tarangini (wallpaper 3). INS Tarangini ship images wallpaper gallery 3.

The principal qualification for command or any other position of responsibility at sea requires strength of character and a good deal of Sea Sense. Sail training imparts all these virtues. Tarangini is built for long voyages. She carries eighteen sails with a sail area of almost 1000 sq m. The ship has very high endurance and can be deployed at sea continuously for a period of over twenty days. She has a complement of six officers and twenty-seven men as permanent crew and can accommodate and impart sail training to 30 cadets. Circumnavigating the earth means sailing through Atlantic and Pacific, visiting 36 ports during a span of 16 months and covering 32,875 miles while spending 287 days at sea. The expedition was divided into six legs with some maintenance periods in Canada and Australia. The Commanding Officer and the crew were to be turned around during various phases of these legs. 25 July 2002 last year saw Tarangini depart from Kochi for her trial voyage. She visited Mauritius, Seychelles and Maldives, covered 5000 miles and returned harbour on September 18, last year. The crew braved rough seas, strong winds and adverse weather conditions. They returned home after testing their ability to capture the globe under sails. This was their rehearsal for the mega event to follow. INS Tarangini (wallpaper 3).
