China Rejects Russian Blame for Carrier Snags
"The ship was laid down in 1978 at the Nikolayev South shipyard in Ukraine, launched in 1982, and commissioned with the Soviet Navy in 1987.
It was renamed after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. In 1994, the Gorshkov sat in dock for a year for repairs after a boiler room explosion. In 1995, it briefly returned to service but was finally withdrawn and put up for sale in 1996."
"Another official involved in preparing the Vikramaditya for sea trials, claimed the reason for the boilers failure was India refused to use asbestos to protect the structure around the boilers from heat, fearing that the material was dangerous for the crew. He said the boilers designer had to use firebrick, which proved not sufficiently heatproof."
On September 17, 2012, malfunctions were detected during trials. According to official report, seven out of eight steam boilers of the propulsion machinery were out of order. Because of this, the deadline of hand over this ship to Indian Navy has been postponed again until October 2013. Later reports revealed that the malfunction was due to Russian use of Chinese fire bricks that had not been certified for use in naval applications. As a result of this failure the Indians finally agreed to the use of asbestos insulation.
You know the Indian faggots laughing at China buying a rusty aircraft carrier got cursed
