India's maritime forces are finding themselves on the defensive 2 following the Mumbai terror attack.
India's Naval 3 Chief Admiral Suresh Mehta in New Delhi (File)
India's naval chief of staff is acknowledging "public outrage 4" for perceived security lapses 5 after 10 to 15 terrorists came ashore 6 along the coast of the country's commercial capital.
Admiral points to intelligence failure
Admiral Suresh Mehta acknowledges a "systemic failure" by the forces charged with protecting the coast, but says the navy and coast guard received no specific intelligence they could act upon.
"The information available should be actionable. It should have some specifics to it. Whatever actionable have come our way we have always taken action promptly," he said.
Admiral Mehta, who formerly 7 commanded the India coast guard also says Indian vessels 8 were patrolling the Arabian Sea off the state between Pakistan and Mumbai.
"The coast guard had deployed 9 a large number of units on the Gujarat coast. There were special units which were over there. Naval ships are also operating off the Gujarat coast," he added.
Fishermen expressed concern about militants 10
India media reports quote fishermen from Gujarat as saying they had repeatedly expressed concern to the government - even writing to the prime minister - about the likelihood of militants from Pakistan capturing their boats to infiltrate 11 India.
Indian investigators 12 say the terrorists apparently 13 hijacked 14 a Gujarati fishing trawler at sea to get to the Mumbai coast.
Maritime security experts contend that India has too few vessels and personnel to patrol the country's 7,500 kilometers of coastline and too many agencies operating on Indian waters, 23 in all, to allow effective coordination 15.
