Fire on board INS Vikramaditya, all personnel safe: Navy

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

This ship was built as an aircraft carrying cruiser, not an aircraft carrier. It is not efficient at carrying planes, which is why Russia decomissioned it and kept Kuznetsov which is built as an aircraft carrier. In any event, this is a very old ship and is due for decommissioning in a few years considering it was commissioned in 1987.
