Weekly IFR 2026 contest: Sailing with the Times - 1st part of the jigsaw (Week 5)

Sailing with the Times

Here’s your chance to become part of India’s proud naval history.

Ahead of the International Fleet Review commencing Feb 15, 2026, in which Navies from across the globe are taking part, TOI has joined hands with the Eastern Naval Command to launch a unique competition for our readers.

In the fifth & final week of this contest, we will provide you three different parts of one ship of the Indian Navy. If you can identify the name of the ship by the given date, you stand a chance to win memorabilia from the Navy.

This is the first part of the fifth week’s jigsaw.

Guess the name of the ship and win your prizes.


Collect the cutouts and send a complete photo of the ship along with your name and postal address to Ifr26.indiannavy@gmail.com
Email subject line: IFR 2026 competition

Only those entries sent with the ship’s correct name and its assembled photo using all three cutouts published that week will be considered.

First 20 correct entries will be considered for the prizes each week.
