New Delhi: After the country's first indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant's first maritime trial, it is now expected to join the Indian Navy fleet in August next year. The 262-meter-long warship is indigenously designed and built in India. This is the largest ship in the country. The Indian Navy started working on the indigenous aircraft carrier for the first time in 1999, nearly ten years later, laying the foundation for it in 2009.

This was the first time that the largest and most complex technology ship was being built on a shipyard in the country. The steel used in this ship was also made in India completely indigenously. It was launched on August 12, 2013. It was structured and built. In 2020, each of its systems was tested in the shipyard in the middle of the Corona period. It was first tested in the sea in August this year after it was cleared. In his first five-day journey, every system of INS Vikrant completed his work properly. After so much hard work, the first indigenous aircraft carrier is ready to join the Indian Navy.

Some interesting figures can be given to estimate the vastness of Vikrant. In this aircraft career, there is so much electricity that a city will be completed, its water is so clean that it is enough to require a small city. It has 15 floors in which up to 40 aircraft can be placed.
