'''Oyster Rock''' is an [[island]] in the [[Mumbai Harbour]], [[Mumbai]], [[India]]. It is heavily fortified, and owned by the [[Indian Navy]]. For a short while, the islet was used as a naval [[museum]].{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}<br />
Every time when the Admiral of The Fleet sails out in with the Naval fleet, a guard of honour with a 21 gun salute is conducted on this island with sailors standing on the entire perimeter of the island.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}<br />
