Prince Charles to take a look at India’s indigenous aircraft carrier in Kochi

[anup]

Prince Charles will take a tour of India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, under construction at the Cochin Shipyard Ltd tomorrow.

Shipyard Chairman and Managing Director Commodore K Subramaniam and Flag Officer Commanding-In-Chief, Southern Naval Command, Vice Admiral Satish Soni will receive the dignitaries at the shipyard.

The Prince would be briefed about the contribution made by M/s Mactaggart Scott, UK, for the deck edge lifts for the aircraft on indigenous aircraft carrier construction in Cochin Shipyard. He will also be briefed on the work done by shipyard on the existing aircraft carrier INS Viraat.

Prince Charles has an ‘emotional bonding’ to this ship having served on HMS Hermes (Prior to the ship’s acquisition by the Indian Navy) during the Falkland wars, a shipyard press release said.

He will also be briefed about the strong business and commercial ties between Cochin Shipyard and UK based firms.

The association of CSL with Rolls Royce Marine (RRM) dates back to 2004.

The yard has constructed 22 vessels of different Rolls Royce designs to clients based in Norway, Cyprus, USA, Germany, Netherlands and India.

Presently the yard is involved with RRM in construction of a specialised Buoy Tender Vessel for the Directorate General of Light Houses and Light Ships India.

How many foreign dignitaries come to see our navy ships? What's he trying to show? India should tell UK to return all the historic artifacts it took including Koh-i-Noor and then see whatever ship it wants to see.

So British provide aid to India so India can spend its own money build weapons. Why won't India declining all aides for its people and spend its own money on its own people first before make weapons.

This is like a guy that request government assistance for food while spending all the money he make on booze.
