==History==
After the 1962 [[Sino-Indian War]], the Navy was tasked with the defence of the [[Andaman & Nicobar Islands]]. Preparations for setting up naval establishments on the islands started in November 1962. In mid 1963, the first naval garrison of 5 officers and 156 sailors arrived in Port Blair. After the [[Seaward class defense boats]] were deployed to the islands, a maintenance and repair facility was created to support these small craft. INS Jarawa was then commissioned in 1964 as the base to oversee all naval operations on the islands.<ref name=in-transition/> The base is named for the indigenous [[adivasi]] [[Jarawa people (Andaman Islands)|Jarawa tribe]] of the Andaman islands.

{{INS|Magar|1949|6}}, an [[amphibious warfare ship]], was the first major vessel to have INS Jarawa as its home port. Construction of a naval wharf for the base started in 1968. Comprehensive ship repair facilities were commissioned at the base in 1979.

On 6 November 2002, the 180 meter long floating drydock FDN1 sank off Port Blair in the Andaman Islands on 24 meters, leaving only the dock crane tops visible. SVITZER Salvage was instructed to re-float the drydock. A SVITZER Salvage Team from Singapore and The Netherlands, aided by special Salvage vessel PERDANA SAKTI, prepared the drydock. A smooth and controlled three-day operation saw it safely back afloat. She was returned to her owners, The Indian Navy, on 15 February 2003.<ref>{{Citation|last=Svitzer Global|title=(RE)FLOATING DRYDOCK|date=2014-03-21|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6VSORLOUfQ|access-date=2019-06-04}}</ref>

==Band==
The INS Jarawa Band is currently attached to the ship and based in [[Port Blair]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=1WxI9TlAxIQC&q=band+of+INS+Jarawa.&pg=PA379 |title=Transition to Eminence: The Indian Navy 1976-1990 - G.

It performed at various venues such as [[Raj Niwas, Port Blair]], [[Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Island]], [[Marina Park]]. It also performs its standard music at [[Republic Day (India)|Republic Day]] and [[Independence Day (India)|Independence Day]] parades as well as during international events and good-will visits of Indian and foreign warships.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://andamanchronicle.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=10167:naval-band-performs-at-marina-park&catid=37&Itemid=142 |title=Naval Band Performs At Marina Park |publisher=Andamanchronicle.net |date=2016-11-28 |access-date=2020-03-02}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.andamansheekha.com/59556/ |title=Band Display at ITF Ground - 'Bharat Parv' Republic Day Celebrations 2018 |publisher=Andaman Sheekha |date=2018-01-30 |access-date=2020-03-02}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.andamanchronicle.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4376:ins-jarawa-turns-fifty-today&catid=37:top-news&Itemid=142 |title=INS Jarawa Turns Fifty Today |publisher=Andamanchronicle.net |date=2014-02-14 |access-date=2020-03-02}}</ref>
