Yes, light aircraft carriers are less capable than the big boys. But they're also much cheaper.

This is happening to prevent a conflict and from what i could glean off of a usni member(that guy is a recently retired USN commodor) discussions are happening but they arnt coming anytime soon,currently USN's biggest priority is LSC,ffg and smaller manned and unmanned vessels

India's indigenous aircraft carrier to sail by 2011: Indian Navy chief

NEW DELHI: Progressing towards self-reliance in the defence industry, India's first indigenous aircraft carrier will be in the waters by 2011,

Indian Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta said Wednesday.

The under-construction aircraft carrier will be ready in two years.

"Our indigenous aircraft carrier is being constructed in Kochi. It has been three years since the work started. On Feb 28, what we call keel laying of the carrier will take place," Mehta told reporters here.

The building of a ship can be divided into seven phases: design, construction planning, work prior to keel laying, ship erection, launching, final outfitting, and sea trials.

"Many of the parts have already been constructed. My estimate is that it should be in the water in two years," Mehta said.

The aircraft carrier is expected to have 40,000 tonne displacement capacity at an estimated cost of Rs.3,000 crore (Rs.30 billion).

The Indian Navy is currently operating only one full deck aircraft carrier, the INS Viraat, also the only one being operated by a country in Asia or Western Pacific. In a bid to become a true-blue water navy, the Indian Navy is expected to operate three aircraft carriers by 2015.

Raising an aircraft carrier is very expensive, the cost is almost equivalent to a person standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier throwing dollars into the sea, throwing a 100$ note Nonstop .

We need to set our priority depending on budget. We have islands across Indian Ocean where landing strips can be developed for airbases.

two carriers are fine for now next can come around 2035+ to replace Gorshkov.

If navy starts working on career now definitely we will get by 2035+ but demand is to have 3 ACs functioning together

3 Carriers doesn't function together
2 maybe sailing while another carrier is docked at home

That effectively 3 careers in inventory whether they're docked at home port or combat/sea deployed.

Every land based assets have its limits. What is the purpose of a "Blue Water" navy if they are tethered to the shore!? This "unsinkable AC" is such BS.
