This ship seems progressing very slowly. Maybe 10 more years before it can be on sea trial.

Official date was 2023 that has been pushedback.
This ship was started before i was born (1987) and might be still in construction when i am dead

Deserves world record..

Type 075 LHD is also 40,000 tons same as Vikrant and it takes Chinese 1 year to build one. Not sure why India is so slow.

When all critical parts need to be imported and u will know why it is so slow.

China domestic build warship have zero foreign critical parts, the building speed therefore can be very fast.

This. Radar is from Israel. Engine is from the US. And who knows what else. No wonder Vikrant costs so much.

The 2013 launch was absolutely only for political purposes ... the island superstructure was not even installed. Have you seen any other aircraft carrier or LHD getting launched without their islands? I will by all means most likely pass away before I even see their third aircraft carrier get commissioned. And this is against the backdrop of a dual Pakistani (left-flank) and Chinese (right-flank) naval envelopment of the Indian Ocean.

They are already asking for EMALs and IEPs from the US for their next carrier .

Vikrant started in the 1980s. It wasn't until they bought the carrier from Russia were they able to copy that and build Vikrant.

Is that the latest photo? How can that ship in that state be possible to put on sea trial? By tow?
