[Agent_47]

INS Viraat is all set to bid goodbye to the Indian Navy and INS Vikrant is all set to join the force, said Navy Chief Sunil Lanba. While adressing a Press Conference at INS Shikra (Mumbai), Lanba said ” INS Viraat after having done service for 29 years, it is scheduled to be de-inducted to the later part of the year.”
“Ministry has written to coastal states, we are waiting for a proposal to come from one of these states. Once proposal is sent to ministry, will see how Viraat can be converted into an aircraft carrier museum.”

On INS Vikrant induction, he mentioned that For INS Vikrant, we are in touch with Kochin Shipyard. It is due to be inducted by December 2018. On matter of allegations against a medical officer by a subordinate in Southern Command, Lanba said ” Just received BOI report,being analysed.” Lauding Indian Navy efforts, Lanba said “we are continously working towards indigenisation,till date 200 ships have been constructed indigenously and 46 are still under construction.”

Cool. Thanks for the update. Some Chinese are making bets on which one will be inducted first, Chinese 001A or INS Vikrant. Now race is on. Let's watch.

When is the 001A set to be inducted?

+ any link to a thread so we can monitor its progress?

I don't know. As usual Chinese practice, it will be announced AFTER it is inducted..

The neighboring Chinese section has a 001A thread that you may monitor. The boat is not yet launched.

I think both will be inducted on 2018. lets wait.
What will be the standard tonnage of 001A?

 

[Mustang06]

Looking at pace the Chinese are building their carrier they'll outbuild Vikrant!

I assume the construction itself will complete far earlier and then there will be 2 years of testing various systems at sea...

It's in the class of Liaoning! Most probably a domestic version of it!

It will be close but let's not forget that China has FAR deeper pockets and a larger industrial base than India.

What will be interesting is the quality of both ships, no offence to the Chinese but I suspect the IAC-1 will be descernably ahead because it is incorporating world class tech from around the world. And what will be more important is the follow-on classes of these boats, what will the next gen carriers of India and China look like? The IAC-2 is shaping up to be a beast and we can only assume China has similar plans.
