An aircraft carrier carrying potent long range multi-role fighters is a platform inherently deigned for power projection. In as much as ‘Gorshkov’ was transformed to create ‘Vikramaditya’, so also Vikramaditya will transform the face of the Fleet Air Arm of the Indian Navy.
INS Vikramaditya - The newest & largest ship of Indian Navy
INS Vikramaditya
STOBAR CARRIER

Length OA: 284 m

Vikramaditya, the floating airfield has an overall length of about 284 meters and a maximum beam of about 60 meters, stretching as much as three football fields put together. Standing about 20 storeys tall from keel to the highest point, the sheer sight of this 44,500 tonnes mega structure of steel is awe inspiring. The ship has a total of 22 decks.
With over 1,600 personnel on board, Vikramaditya is literally a ‘Floating City’. Associated with this large population is a mammoth logistics requirement - nearly a lakh of eggs, 20,000 litres of milk and 16 tonnes of rice per month. With her complete stock of provisions, she is capable of sustaining herself at sea for a period of about 45 days. With a capacity of over 8,000 tonnes of LSHSD, she is capable of operations up to a range of over 7,000 nautical miles or 13000 kms.
Design
As completed, Vikramaditya has a larger full load displacement than when the ship was originally launched in 1982 as Baku. 1,750 out of 2,500 compartments of the ship were re-fabricated, and extensive re-cabling was done to support new radars and sensors. The elevators were upgraded, and two restraining stands were fitted, allowing combat aircraft to reach full power before making a ski jump-assisted short take-off. Three arresting gears were fitted on the aft part of the angled deck, and navigation and carrier-landing aids were added to support fixed-wing "short take-off but arrested recovery" (STOBAR) operations.
Know what are the features of INS Vikrant?
If you look at the features of INS Vikrant, it is a completely indigenous warship. Its length is 262 meters and width is 60 meters. Talking about its weight, it is a 45 thousand ton ship. INS Vikrant is capable of operating 30 fighter planes simultaneously. The ship has been designed by the Bureau of Warship Design of the Indian Navy and built by Cochin Shipyard Limited, a public sector shipyard company under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways. Vikrant is equipped with state-of-the-art automated facilities and is the largest vessel in India's maritime history so far, the statement said.
PM unveiled the new sign
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has unveiled a new naval insignia in Kerala. Defense Minister Rajnathi Singh, Governor Arif Mohammad Khan, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and other army officers were also present.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has commissioned the first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant to the Navy. The specialty of INS Vikrant is that it is an indigenous warship. It was started in 2009. Now after 13 years this Navy has got it. The Navy's new Ensign is far from the colonial past and steeped in Indian maritime heritage.
This aircraft carrier has been prepared at a cost of 20 thousand crores
Around Rs. The aircraft carrier, built at a cost of Rs 20,000 crore, successfully completed the fourth and final phase of sea trials last month. The Deputy Chief of Naval Staff then said that equipment for INS Vikrant has been built in 18 states and Union Territories of the country. For this, equipment has also been made in cities like Ambala, Daman, Kolkata, Jalandhar, Kota, Pune and Delhi. He informed that 2500 km long electrical cable for INS Vikrant has been made in India.
