The Quad — a four-nation grouping comprising India, the US, Japan and Australia — has been joined by South Korea for a naval exercise focused on tracking submarines.

Called “Exercise Sea Dragon-25”, the drill will test anti-submarine warfare capabilities, including detecting both simulated and live submarines, tracking their locations around the clock and launching attacks.

The exercise is being conducted off Guam, a US military base in the western Pacific Ocean, and is being hosted by the US from March 4 to 19.

Anti-submarine warfare plays a crucial role in enhancing the Quad countries’ ability to conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
