Yes, 4, and we will have these in future without it their is no plans for amphibious force..Kunal Navy hasnt ordered 6 LPD's, rather 4 if I remember correctly, that too only RFP is send. Viraat will be offline 2018, IAC-1 will be operational 2015, so to Vikramaditya, I expect IAC-2 to be done by 2020.
ESG and CBG will be two different entities, or do we have assets to have a 3 Carrier fleet and 2 ESG, US has 11 CBG and 11 ESG, Only the SSN's are in doubt,
Question is, do we center it around two LHA's or is it going to be LHD's?
Their is nothing fixed abt decommission on viraat so does induction of IAC-1 on time, But Vikramaditya will be there and Viraat..
Burma station and Srilanka are well capable of replenishing a fleet also Pakistan, their are others which are listening stations..PS: Those Chinese refueling stations in Burma, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh, are off no use in war.
