INS Vikramaditya commissioned

[Penguin]

WHAT could be the reason , its near Portugal ?

Port visit, en ruote to med, Suez, India. Tanker INS Deepak went into Lisbon port, possibly to top up. Tikrand stays with Vikramaditya at sea. More ships are expected to join at Gibraltar and Oman.

Now; what kind of help was that? LOLL

It was just an act of Naval Etiquette where one warship provides an escort to another warship (usually a Flagship/Capital Ship) on passage for a short part of the passage. "Ensigns are dipped" and Signals are exchanged to wish the Passing Ship Bon Voyage etc.
Just a bit of Naval Protocol.

Oh, then; in the English Language "a ship escorting another ship as a part of Naval Tradition" would translate as "helps"?
And my comment was not aimed at you @Penguin at all, muy amigo. You did not write the report!

Has anyone else notice that the Vikramaditya doesn't have a barricade ? A barricade is used for emergency landings. Its not a disaster but this simply means that when Indian pilots have problems with their planes they can't make emergency landings on the deck and will have to ditch their planes in the water to be rescued by helicopters.

The barricade is only put up when an emergency landing is imminent

I know that. But if you look at the aft of the deck there are no markings that out lines the barricade. The barricade is normally located about the last arrester wire. But on the Vikramaditya there is nothing there. This is a serious oversight.
