Nice catch bro. I can clearly see two ACCs in the pic. one on the extreme right is Virat for sure. Not sure about the one in the extreme left. May be IAC 1....

She was laid down at MDL in 2003, launched in 2006, due to be commissioned by 2010 but during sea trials some major defects were found both in the initial design and construction, which are being rectified. She is due to be commissioned by the end of March 2014.

Not IAC-1 ....... The ship on the extreme left is INS Vikrant-1 . Our first AC , decommissioned in 97 and now preserved as a maritime museum in Mumbai.

The only news about the sea trial is that some technical problems were found .

Where did you get that the defects are in the initial design and construction ???

Thanks @kurup - but still, the old lady Vikrant did not have a ski jump. The picture shows an AC type vessel with a ski ramp on it. Any comments on that?

Yeah, u r right. Vikrant had an angled deck and not the ski jump. Also, this ship is at Cuffe Parade and that's why i am wondering how come other ships are there where as they should be at MDL dockyard.

This is how she looks now a days

Here is the picture of Vikrant . It did have a ski-jump ramp added to it as a later modification in the 80s to enable for the efficient use of sea harriers .

Also here is the island structure of vikrant . Compare it to the one in the picture with kolkata's (All those antenna???? like structures above island) . Fits perfectly .
