The Indian Navy has decommissioned one of her two aircraft carriers. INS Viraat (Giant)was decommissioned on 6 Mar 2017 after 30 years of service. INS Viraat was bought from the Royal Navy which decommissioned the ship after serving 27 years as HMS Hermes. HMS Hermes saw service as the flagship of the Task force that the British sent to re-claim the Falkland Islands.
India will operate one aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, until 2020 when the indigenously built INS Vikrant will enter service.
