Dismantling of iconic warship INS Vikrant R11 begins at scrap yard

Formerly known as the HMS Hercules, it was bought by India in 1957 and commissioned in the Indian Navy on February 16, 1959. It was decommissioned on January 31, 1997.

Three months after the Indian Supreme Court junked a PIL against scrapping of the country’s first aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, the process of breaking the iconic naval vessel has begun.
