During PEONT 85 in Vishakhapatnam (popularly known as Vizag) on 25th and 26th October 1985, the above two covers were issued with impressive thematic pictorial cancellations. On the 25th we had the various tools of a navigator at sea, such as a compass, sextant, telescope etc. 26th postmark depicts an Osa Class Missile boat of the 25th Missile Boat Squadron, and the emblem of the Indian Navy.
