INS VIKRAMADITYA

INS VIRAAT

By the end of the year, India expects to freeze the design for the largest

battleship ever built for the Indian Navy. It will also be one of the largest

carriers across the world after the U.S. super carriers, which weigh about

1,00,000 tonnes. According to Navy sources, the Indigenous Aircraft



14

Carrier (IAC-II) would be of 65,000 tonnes, and will be capable of

carrying over 50 aircraft. In comparison, displacement of INS Viraat is

only 28,500 tonnes and INS Vikramaditya is 45,400 tonnes, both of

which are of foreign origin and currently in service with the Indian Navy.

The first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant weighing 40,000 tonnes is

currently under construction at Kochi.

Given that this the first time a ship of such size will be built in India

which involves development of several new technologies, design

consultancy will be sought from foreign companies with expertise in

carrier design and construction. Five countries have been identified for

the purpose — the U.S., Russia, France, the U.K. and Italy — all of which

currently operate carriers. The Navy has issued a letter in July 2015 to

identify the domestic shipyard for constructing IAC-II. The Navy aims to

achieve 80 per cent indigenisation in the project. While the launch

mechanism would be Catapult Assisted Take-Off But Arrested Recovery

(CATOBAR), the Navy said “modern technologies for launch and recovery

will be considered,” leaving room for incorporating Electro-Magnetic

Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) technology of the U.S.



15

INS Kalvari (S50)

• INS Kalvari (S50) is the first of the Indian Navy's six Kalvari-class

submarine. It is a French designed diesel-electric attack submarinewhich

Parrikarlaunched the indigenously-built Scorpène submarine at

the Mazagaon Dockyard.[3]This will be inducted into theIndian navy by

the end of 2016.

INS CHAKRA-2

• In 1988, India took Charlie class submarine INS Chakra 1 on lease for 3

• Its objective was to train indian naval personnel in using & maintaining

nuclear submarines.
