This article is similar word by word to http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/india/r-vikrant.htm Patrick Rogel ( talk) 12:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
List of British WW-II carriers is here.
Among the Majestic class aircraft carriers, Vikrant is the only one to still be in her original shape (The Majestic is said to have been taken apart and her deck is being used to train Chinese pilots).
SO.... This statement is accurate as per the data on Wikipedia.
The Naval Officers Association of Canada official website claims here http://www.noac-national.ca/article/varner/rumoursofasianaircraftcarriers_byjoevarner.html that the well maintained and recently refitted Bonaventure was quietly swapped for the worn out Indian carrier Vikrant in 1971 which was the ship actually scrapped, it quotes Halifax Herald reporter Mike Bembridge and Senator Forrestall who attempted to track down Bonaventure in Japan after it disappeared for two weeks only to reappear already partly disassembled where it was supposed to be scrapped. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.65.209 ( talk) 09:53, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

The article contradicts itself; in the introductory paragraph says that it is preserved as a museum ship, however in the relevant section says it has been put for auction and was sold for scrapping. Can anyone please confirm which is the fate of this ship, and amend the article accordingly? Thanks & regards, DPdH ( talk) 10:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
@ Sturmvogel 66: I am not aware of WP Belfast, but WP:INDIA considers "A-class". Back in time, the project used to assign A-class by an internal peer view, similar to MILHIS's A-class review. Though the internal review is now inactive, the class is still considered to be valid in the project. See List of India A-class articles.

[...] propeller revolutions to 120 RPM at the bow [...]
The ship had propellers at the bow? I seriously doubt that. -- 217.248.24.182 ( talk) 11:21, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on INS Vikrant (R11). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
INS Vikrant (R11) was modified quite extensively several times, including, as noted in the article, even before it was commissioned into Indian Navy service. As far as I'm aware, the specifications shown are based on the original wartime design. I am curious how the specifications were affected by the various modernization programs: I would imagine that the displacement remained at 16,000t standard even after the addition of the angled flight deck, for example. The modernization programs in 1979 and 1987 probably changed a lot of things (I seem to remember Indian navy people opposing the ship's retirement because of all the costly changes made in late 1980s). More details on what these programs involved would be very helpful! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.93.91.225 ( talk) 17:04, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
