SCRIPT
India's first aircraft carrier and one of the Indian Navy's most famous vessels, the INS Vikrant, was brought to the Powder Bunder ship-breaking yard in Mumbai on Friday to be dismantled. It will take 200 workers seven to eight months to dismantle the carrier, which is 213 metres (699 feet) in length and weighs 15,700 tonnes.
The INS Vikrant's construction began under the name HMS Hercules for the British Royal Navy during World War II, but never entered service. India purchased the incomplete carrier in 1957, completed construction and deployed the vessel among others in the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War, where it played a key role in the naval blockade of what was then East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh).
Between 1997 to 2012, the Vikrant was preserved as a museum ship in Mumbai until being withdrawn in 2012 due to safety concerns. Mumbai-based IB Commercials Ltd bought the Vikrant in an online auction in January, and has since made preparations for its dismantlement.

INS Vikrant (R11)*Launched-22 September 1945*Har Koi Chahta Hai*Ek Mutthi Aasmaan*1973.
INS Vikrant (Sanskrit: विक्रान्त, for courageous) was a Majestic-class aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy. The ship was laid down as HMS Hercules for the British Royal Navy during World War II, but construction was put on hold when the war ended. India purchased the incomplete carrier in 1957, and construction was completed in 1961. Vikrant was commissioned as the first aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy and played a key role in enforcing the naval blockade of East Pakistan during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
In the later years, the ship underwent major refits to embark modern aircraft, before being decommissioned in January 1997. She was preserved as a museum ship in Cuffe Parade, Mumbai, until it was closed in 2012 due to safety concerns. In January 2014, the ship was sold through an online auction and scrapped in November 2014 after final clearance from the Supreme Court. The Indian Navy is currently building its first home-built carrier, also named INS Vikrant, with the new carrier scheduled to be commissioned by the end of 2018.

During the early years of World War II, the Royal Navy built a fleet of light aircraft carriers in an effort to counter the German and Japanese navies.[1] The 1942 Design Light Fleet Carrier, commonly referred to as the British Light Fleet Carrier, was the result. Used by eight navies between 1944 and 2001, these ships were designed and constructed by civilian shipyards as an intermediate step between the expensive, full-sized fleet aircraft carriers and the less expensive and more-quickly-built but limited-capability escort carriers.
The fifth ship in the series, HMS Hercules, was ordered on 7 August 1942 and laid down on 14 October 1943 by Vickers-Armstrong on the River Tyne. She was launched on 22 September 1945, and her construction was suspended in May 1946, after the end of World War II.[1] At the time of suspension, she was 75 per cent complete.[7] Her hull was preserved and, in May 1947, she was laid up in Gareloch off the Clyde. In January 1957, she was purchased by India and was towed to Belfast to complete her construction and modifications by Harland and Wolff. Several improvements to the original design were ordered by the Indian Navy, including an angled deck, steam catapults, and a modified island.
The ship was commissioned into the Indian Navy as INS Vikrant by Vijayalakshmi Pandit, then Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom on 4 March 1961 in Belfast,[8] as India's first aircraft carrier.[13] The name Vikrant was derived from Sanskrit word vikrānta meaning stepping beyond, courageous or bold. Captain Pritam Singh was the ship's first commanding officer, which carried British Hawker Sea Hawk fighter-bombers and French Alizé anti-submarine aircraft . On 18 May 1961, the first jet landed on her deck. It was piloted by Lieutenant Radhakrishna Hariram Tahiliani, who would later become admiral and Chief of the Naval Staff of India from 1984 to 1987. Vikrant formally joined the Indian Navy's fleet in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) on 3 November 1961, when she was received at Ballard Pier by then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
During her service, INS Vikrant embarked four squadrons of the Naval Air Arm of the Indian Navy:
On 12 November 2014, the Supreme Court gave its final approval for the carrier to be scrapped which commenced on 22 November 2014.

********** INS VIKRANT **********
INS Vikrant (Sanskrit: विक्रान्त víkrānta courageous[8]) (IAC-I) is the first aircraft carrier built in India and the first Vikrant-class aircraft carrier built by Cochin Shipyard (CSL) in Kochi, Kerala for the Indian Navy. The motto of the ship is Jayema Sam Yudhi Sprdhah (Sanskrit: जयेम सं युधि स्पृध:), which is taken from Rig Veda 1.8.3 and is translated as I defeat those who fight against me.
Work on the ship's design began in 1999, and the keel was laid in February 2009. The carrier was floated out of its dry dock on 29 December 2011[9] and was launched in 2013. The ship is currently being fitted out, according to the Comptroller & Auditor General (CAG) it is expected to be completed by 2023,[1] though the Navy still hopes to partially commission the ship in late 2018. The project cost has escalated dramatically to ₹19,341 crore (US$3.0 billion) as of 2014.[10]
Cochin Shipyard has offered repeatedly to build a second similar Project 71 Indigenous Aircraft Carrier while the Navy finalizes plans for the configuration of its larger and likely nuclear-powered next carrier.

India's First Aircraft Carrier - INS Vikrant Royal History
This video describes the details of India's First Aircraft Carrier - INS Vikrant Royal History
Commissioned in the year 1961 as an aircraft carrier by Vijaylakshmi Pandit, the then High Commissioner, the name Vikrant stands for unassailability and bravery in Sanskrit.
Pre & Post Indian Commissioning
Originally named as HMS Hercules, the vessel was built in the Vickers-Armstrong shipyard and launched as a part of Great Britain’s Majestic Class of vessels in the year 1945. However, even before she was brought into active operational duty, World War II came to an end and the ship was withdrawn from being used in active naval duty.
Subsequently, Hercules was sold to the Indian naval force in the year 1957. For four years till its formal launch as a part of the Indian naval force, the war ship was re-modified to suit the Indian requirements in the Irish Harland and Wolff shipyard.
The aircraft fleet of the INS ship consisted of three crafts – the Sea Hawk bomber jets of Great Britain and the French anti-submarine plane Alize. Because of this limited capacitance of fighter planes, the flight carrier was regarded as a light attack air fleet carrier.
War History
The initiation of the flight carrier in the Indian navy was not met with hearty favour all over. The Russian diplomats of that time raised queries about the Indian choice to opt for a British war ship while several senior Indian army men were sceptical of the performance of the vessel.
In the year 1961 according to reputed maritime history sources, the Pakistani navy made claims that they had destroyed the flight carrier. This was a rumour as at that time the vessel was not deployed in the active line of duty but was undergoing its regular maintenance work at the Mumbai (then Bombay) shipyard.
The true test of INS Vikrant however came during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. With seriously debilitating problems to one of her boilers, the INS ship had to function with limited speed that could have hamper that the actual potential of the vessel during the crucial time. However, these problems to the boilers notwithstanding, the aircraft vessel was successful in majorly helping the country to win the 1971 war in a thumping manner.
In the following years, the war vessel underwent major re-hauling with respect to its engines, boilers and other technical equipments. Its fleet of vessels also underwent a change with the Harriers becoming a part of its fleet and the Alize crafts becoming redundant. However towards the start of the late 21stcentury (in 1997), the aircraft carrier because of its performance incapacity was withdrawn from active service duty.
Life After De-Commissioning
INS Vikrant, even after her decommissioning has been a major source of attraction for enthusiasts from all over the country. Seeing its popularity, the Indian government raised a proposal to convert the ship into a drifting museum. At present, the INS ship is grounded near to the Mumbai landmark, the Gateway of India with her name rechristened to IMS Vikrant – where IMS refers to Indian Museum Ship.

Plans on to berth aircraft carriers INS Vikrant, Vikrant in Visakhapatnam || Maritime Museum
There are plans to set up a new jetty to berth indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant once it's commissioned and finishes its trials in the west coast and comes to the Eastern Sea Board, said Vice-Admiral and Flag Officer Commanding in Chief of Eastern Naval Command (ENC) HCS Bisht during an interaction with the media in Visakhapatnam.. Also, with the AP government expressing keen interest on INS Viraat to convert it into a museum once it's decommissioned, various modalities are being deliberated at different levels so as it make it a financially and environmentally viable, self-sustaining project in the long run.
Once the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant gets commissioned, which might be delivered from Kochi Shipyard in 2018, sea trials would commence in the western coast near Kochi. Meanwhile, our proposed jetty would also be ready in three-four years. Our proposal is with the Government of India, awaiting the final stage of approval. Once that is done and detailed project report (DPR) prepared and approved, we can get going with the tender process and commence the construction of the jetty, said
The ENC chief also mentioned that nuclear power submarine INS Arihant is still undergoing various sea trials. As for the construction of Naval Alternative Operations Base (NAOB) at Rambilli, Vice-Admiral Bisht stated that though the project is underway, there are a couple of issues that have to be sorted out including issues of resettlement and rehabilitation of the project-affected families and issues related to land acquisition since 2013 as the cost of land has escalated since then.

INS Vikrant is reborn, as new aircraft carrier launched
At Kochi, on Monday, a giant step was taken towards the rebirth of the Indian Navy's iconic former flagship, the INS Vikrant.
On March 4, 1961, on a cold, blustery morning at Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the presence of Indian High Commissioner Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, INS Vikrant was commissioned as the Indian Navy's first aircraft carrier. During the 1971 war, the Vikrant had imposed a blockade on Bangladesh, and its Seahawk fighters wreaked havoc on Pakistani forces and vessels in Chittagong and Cox's Bazaar. On Jan 31, 1997, the Vikrant was decommissioned; it is now a floating maritime museum, moored off Mumbai.
