The 262-meter long and 62-meter wide IAC, which has the capacity to carry 30 fighters and helicopters, will be commissioned in the second half of August. She will then be christened INS Vikrant after India’s first aircraft carrier that was acquired from the UK in 1961, which played a major role during the 1971 war and eventually decommissioned in 1997.
