I'm going to go out on a limb and say the US Coast Guard (not Navy) and the Canadians were deployed because the mini-sub went missing off the coast of America and not off the coast of Greece in the Mediterranean. By that logic, they could just as easily dispatch the Indian Navy.

No, the US Navy, in addition to the US Coast Guard is involved as well: > However, on Wednesday a U.S. Navy official told ABC News it had sent a portable crane system that can reach 20,000 feet deep to St. John’s, Newfoundland, so it can be welded onto a ship to take it to the search area for the missing submersible. > Additionally, the Navy announced it was sending experts and a Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System, or FADOSS, which it described as a “motion compensated lift system designed to provide reliable deep ocean lifting capacity for the recovery of large, bulky, and heavy undersea objects such as aircraft or small vessels.” https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/missing-titanic-tour-sub-rescue-options/story?id=100212808 https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/missing-titanic-tour-sub-rescu... And the Sixth Fleet operates out of the Mediterranean, so, sure, there’s no political valence to any of this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Sixth_Fleet https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Sixth_Fleet
