Oh,it's gonna be one hell of a force under the IN's disposal.In my opinion,after the induction of IAC 1,the INS Viraat should be turned into an LHD.What do you say??
In theory that idea is ok. However the most over-riding issue is that of the material state of her propulsion esp the Boilers and Turbines.
Otherwise she can be turned into a Training Ship in the Southern Naval Command. In that role she will have much less operational deployment with a much bigger number of berths for Middies and Cadets of all branches and continue to provide training to Rotorcraft Pilots as well as hone the large ship-handling skills for Navigators.
