Not only a Navy, but one with surprising capability, and the stones to use it. They have a habit of dealing with Somali pirates the way we all wish everyone else would, i.e. as soon as they see them, they start shooting.

No they don't, not on sight. In the most noted incident in Nov 2008, INS Tabar requested a suspect boat stop and be searched.
The pirates (for they were) responded "Go away silly warship boat, or we sink you".
The pirates then fired on the Tabar, and the Indian Captain said "Number One, Release the Kashtan"

Too bad there isn’t a LiveLeak video of that engagement.

And Bravo! to India on this milestone.
