Wow, you have reasons? Or do you just do bumper stickers?
I am not sure why such a capital ship of the Indian Navy has such a small complement of aircraft.
BTW: I think we are in an age where smart countries can sink our carriers in the first few days of hostilities.
I think she’s junk too. We have had plenty of accidents and fatalities on our ships over the years, but we run them a lot harder and a lot more efficiently.
I just don’t think I would want to sail around on a refurbished Russian warship like that one if had a say in it. I suspect what had to be done to make her seaworthy and operational enough to sell is akin to watching someone make the sausage.
No insult intended, but that ship is not exactly a great design, and sitting idle for years, all the cost overruns, etc...I just don’t have any warm and fuzzy feelings about her.
