Zitat:India’s New Aircraft Carrier Vikrant Starts 3rd Round Of Sea Trialshttps://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/202...ea-trials/
India's indigenously-built aircraft carrier Vikrant headed out on 09 January to begin the third round of sea trials to undertake complex maneuvers to establish specific readings of how the ship performs in various conditions. [...] While the maiden sea trials in August last year were to establish propulsion, navigational suite, and basic operations, the second sea trial later in October-November witnessed the ship being put through its paces in terms of various machinery trials and flight trials. The ship in fact was out for 10 days proving its sustenance in the very second sortie. Various seamanship evolutions were also successfully cleared during the second sortie. [...]
The IAC has been a success story on numerous counts. Be it the case of Atmanirbharta wherein 76% of the equipment is indigenously sourced or the close engagement between the Design teams of the Indian Navy and M/s Cochin Shipyard Limited – a high-point in the largest and most complex warship ever to be built in the country.
