Now THAT is what I wanted to see, the Viky and the MiG-29K are modest steps India is taking towards building a true carrier force but operating alongside the world's undisputed KING of carrier aviation is only going to ease the process and help build operational capacity and expertise in pursuit of being a great force.

Other wannabe carrier navies can only dream about this kind of exposure.

Have to say, I like the IN's working uniform most of all- the most suited to working conditions on navy ships plus the addition of reflective strips across the torso and ankles increases the safety features for the crew.
