India's first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant begins trials
By MYBRANDBOOK
India's first indigenously designed and built aircraft carrier, named INS Vikrant after being commissioned, started its sea trials by the Indian Navy on Wednesday. With over 2,300 compartments, it is designed for a 1,700-strong crew and was built for ₹23,000 crore. The Navy called it the "most complex warship ever to be designed" in India.
The Indian Navy described it as a "proud and historic" day for the nation and said India has joined a select group of countries having niche capability to indigenously design, build and integrate a state-of-the-art aircraft carrier.
The 40,000-tonne aircraft carrier set off on its maiden sea trials, 50 years after its namesake played a major role in the 1971 war. The aircraft carrier is expected to be commissioned into the Indian Navy in the second half of next year.
"It is a proud and historic day for India as the reincarnated Vikrant (IAC) sails for her maiden sea trials today in the 50th year of her illustrious predecessor's key role in the victory in the 1971 war," Indian Navy spokesperson Commander Vivek Madhwal said.
