The 45,000-tonne warship has been built at a cost of Rs 20,000 crore. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"cheat__ttl\">Here are the top 10 points from this big story:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cheat-wrp\">\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>262 metres long and 62 metres wide, INS Vikrant is the largest warship to be built in India. It can have 30 aircraft on board, including MiG-29K fighter jets and helicopters. The warship can accommodate a crew of nearly 1,600.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said INS Vikrant is the reflection of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat mission. &#8220;Today, India has entered the list of countries that can build such large warships indigenously. Vikrant has infused new confidence,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>On the occasion, the Prime Minister also unveiled the new naval ensign. The new ensign has the national flag on the upper canton. A blue octagonal shape with the national emblem sits atop an anchor, superimposed on a shield with the navy&#8217;s motto.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>&#8220;The octagonal shape with twin golden borders draws inspiration from the seal of the great Indian emperor, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose visionary maritime outlook established a credible naval fleet,&#8221; the navy said in a video showcasing the new ensign.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>During his address, the Prime Minister said that in adopting the new naval ensign, India has removed a burden of slavery off its chest.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>INS Vikrant, in the beginning, will have MiG fighters and some choppers. The Navy is in the process of procuring 26 deck-based aircraft, having narrowed down to some Boeing and Dassault aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The warship was in the works for over a decade. Multiple phases of sea trials of INS Vikrant have been completed since August 21 last year. Aviation trials will be held after the navy has its command.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>At present, India has only one aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, which is built on a Russian platform. Defence forces have been seeking three carriers in all &#8211; one in spare besides one each for the two main naval fronts, in the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>INS Vikrant is named after its predecessor, which played a key role during the 1971 war against Pakistan for the liberation of Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Indian Navy sees the new warship as a key addition to its arsenal. India can now deploy an aircraft carrier on both its eastern and western seaboards and expand its maritime presence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/india-news\/ins-vikrant-indias-first-home-built-aircraft-carrier-commissioned-by-pm-narendra-modi-3308900\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] INS Vikrant, in the beginning, will have MiG fighters and some choppers Kochi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today commissioned INS Vikrant, India&#8217;s first home-built aircraft carrier, in a grand ceremony at Cochin Shipyard.
