India bids farewell to world's oldest aircraft carrier
The Indian Navy on Sunday bid farewell to INS Viraat, the world's oldest aircraft carrier after it served India for 29 years. First commissioned in 1953 in UK's Royal Navy, the ship dubbed 'Grand Old Lady' was acquired by India in 1987. After its decommissioning in November, INS Viraat will reportedly be used for tourism promotion in Andhra Pradesh's Visakhapatnam.
