If India buys V-22 Ospreys, We can well use our experience to launch surprise covert ops any where in the world...

INS Vikramaditya is a modified Kiev Class Aircraft Carrier laid down in 1978 at the Nikolayev South Shipyard and commissioned into the Soviet Navy as Baku in 1987. Renamed as the Admiral Gorshkov in 1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Carrier remained in service until a 1994 boiler casualty brought about her deactivation and eventual decommissioning from the Russian Navy in 1996.

Superiors should have briefed sailors on proper deportment. Or, maybe they were ignored.

USN has these guys.

Heh, heh. I've heard some stories about Shore Patrol/Courtesy Patrol. They can be the best or worst guys to come across depending on one's particular situation (and state of intoxication).

INS Vikramaditya to sail to Mumbai & Vizag

With INS Vikramaditya settling in at home-base Karwar, it will soon be time for the crew, led by Commodore Suraj Berry, to set out to sea again. If sources are to be believed, the 44,000 ship will up anchor and commence on a routine of operational training exercises in the Arabian Sea from January 16 with ships from the Western Fleet. The exercise will carry on for at least a fortnight, after which, the vessel is likely to sail to Mumbai for a formal reception that could see even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in attendance. The ship will also sail to Visakhapatnam from Mumbai after planned ceremonials.

On its voyage to India, the Vikramaditya conducted basic exercises at sea with the Indian destroyers, frigates and tanker that escorted it across the Arabian Sea. So far unweaponised, the ship still has a long way to go before it is the operational platform it is intended to be. According to top Indian Navy sources, apprehensions about the platform's performance in tropical waters—its first time ever—have been belied by the smoothe passage of the ship into much warmer waters than it is used to. Over the next three-four months, the crew of INS Vikramaditya, along with the 75-strong Russian guarantee team, will put the ship through the paces through the searing Indian summer to confirm all performance parameters at forbidding temperatures out at sea.

Hi,

Is there a specific reason why the Carrier has to carry Helo ( Early Warning and Recovery) since it will always work as a part of a CBG .. As of now IN has lot of places for Helos in the Frigates and Destroyers .. Could we not reduce the Number of Helos carried in the carrier and task the Support ships to carry the helos but still be controlled from Carrier?
