India aircraft carrier: New Delhi launches
first home-built carrier.
Another aircraft career by growing power in
Asia, this time India. China commissioned one last year that had been purchased
from Ukraine, the former Soviet Union, back in 1999, refurbished it secretively themselves, and
finally commissioned it last year. They are also building ones of their own. Indian
navy actually bought one from its former sovereign state, the Britain, in 1987 that
has been commissioned as its flagship ever since. The country has been building
one of their own and has launched it this month which is due to be commissioned
in 2018. But why do those countries want to have such an expensive ship not
only to build, maintain and operate but also requires extensive supportive vessels
for active duties?
Enjoy reading and learning what aircraft
carrier means to the navy.
