2013 end is the new delivery date for the much delayed Russian-built aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov. In his address ahead of the Navy Day on December 4, Admiral DK Joshi said that the warship should be in the Indian Navy's flotilla.
"Amongst the overseas projects, there has been a delay in the delivery of Vikramaditya, which has sailed for more than 100 days in the recent past and completed a majority of her equipment and aviation trials. The revised schedule envisages the delivery of the ship in the last quarter of 2013," Admiral Joshi said.
