The source of smoke was identified, and on board, portable extinguishers were used, said the Navy spokesperson.

This is not the first time that INS Talwar has been in the news for wrong reasons. In 2011, a trainee sub-lieutenant, Vipin Kumar, lost his life while undergoing a swimming drill. The incident saw Captain Rahul Parmar being relieved of the command of the ship. In December 2013, INS Talwar collided with an unlit fishing trawler.

I hope very soon the great and glorious indian sailors will sink their Aircraft carrier, and probably everyone else with it. I will be watching it on a big screen with some pop corn in my hands.

If you are operating a large navy, accidents are bound to happen.
But then again, what do people who don't even have a blue water navy know.

No surprising anymore, it is a norm.

These accidents are the privilege of large blue water navies only, so you have nothing to worry about.
