Being an Indian I am extremely proud to see INS VIKRANT in this video 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@bondr006]

I served on the USS Nimitz from 1978 to 1982. Very big ship.

[@vigoedwinpandika1545]

That’s interesting and incredible on a USS Nimitz

[@user-ii7zr3bj9c]

Watch out you backyard! Chinese Immigrants joint by other Asian ethnics groups are building their whole country inside of America!

[@TheMsmith77]

These aircraft carriers are huge, but even if they build one 50 miles long, the ocean will always win no matter what. It is a scary world out there in the ocean and no matter what man does or builds, it will never defeat Mother Nature.

[@khanjare]

the thing is these carrier have a whole intel operation with them meaning weather forecasts and careful measurements for any possible natural event.

[@alvinjoy9392]

I work in Cochin shipyard I'm really proud of ins Vikranth

[@BlackDad-penitentiary]

EA-6B has been retired. The navy uses FA-18 Growlers now. Faster, more agile, and has air to air abilities.

[@tnmwheatley]

I do not know where she got $37 Billion from but Almost 13 Billion was correct, R&D was almost only $5Billion. For it to be $37 Billion for R&D and Building the ship, R&D WOULD HAVE TO BE ALMOST $24 Billion. And my Name is OSCAR THE GROUCHY!!!

[@callofdutyking3442]

Now stop shouting knowledge and thinking you own the world we get it your knowledge is better dont shout it in th comment

[@jcjcviews]

I was stationed aboard the USS Constellation in 1977 forward. That was long ago of course, but if there are any others out there who served aboard the Connie, I'd like to know. For example, how does the capacity of the Connie (and its sister ship, the Kitty Hawk) measure against the nuclear-powered which were to follow them, anyone? Thank you.

[@andrewjansen9702]

I wonder when we’ll commission an aircraft big enough to launch big planes like bombers. We haven’t done that since April of 42 on the Hornet.

[@te_legrammexplaind0012]

👆, Congratulations lucky winner you have been selected among shortlisted winners Dm to claim your prize 🎁

[@jamesganther884]

The B-25s Doolittle flew off the Hornet had a MTOW of 35,000 lbs. The F/A-18 Super Hornets that now launch off our carriers have a MTOW of 66,000 lbs. So we're currently launching far larger aircraft than the WWII-era medium bombers.

[@DontUputThatEvilOnMe]

The Charles de Gaulle is the most impressive carrier on this list outside the American ones.

[@georgesikimeti2184]

Chinese EMALS with its linear energy required massive power to lift those fighter jets.A conventional powered carrier would struggle to provide that unless build a lightweight fight jet.

[@SilvanaDil]

It's still just a floating hull. With zero CATOBAR experience, I don't expect much from the Fujian's EMALS.

[@StewartWalker-hy1eo]

Most carrier technology was British but today’s UK government pass new technology to the USA! EMALS was actually started in the UK called EMKITS

Ukrainian Carnival festivities occur over the period January 6-19 annually. Therefore, today - Friday January 6, 2023 - is the beginning of the celebration of Carnival in Ukraine. Please join me in wishing the people of Ukraine all the best for Carnival 2023. The commemoration of Carnival 2023 in Ukraine is severely disrupted by the brutal war of Russia on the Ukrainians. People of the USA, the other European countries, Canada, Australia and Japan as well as citizens and residents from nations that are allies and friends to Ukraine - continue to pray for the people of Ukraine and let us continue to support Ukraine with financial aid and military equipment to fully and quickly defeat the Russian forces which are invading and are occupying Ukraine.

Q

[@ericmascarenhas3123]

India needs to take seriously to build it's Own Naval Ships and Carrier! Modi just talks big but does not walk the talk. Today if China's Navy is the No.1 Navy in having highest number of ships. Now China,has,Installed Emal on its own ship.If naval war takes place India will loose the war in Indian Ocean. China is having 3 bigger Aircraft Czrrier and latest Aircraft Carrier displacement of 80,000 Ton with Emal while plan for 5 to 6 more Aircraft Carriers. These Chinese Aircraft carriers will be able to project Power in Indian Ocean. India is doomed if India does not plan for 2 to 3 more Aircraft carriers given India's Long Coastal area twice the size of China's Coastal Area. India should plan for 2 to 3, 75 to 80,000 Ton displacement Nuclear Powered Aircraft with most modern Aircraft Carriers at Sea...

[@SilvanaDil]

Calm down. The Fujian is nothing but a floating hull.
