India’s new Prime Minister made his first escape from the New Delhi government bureaucracy with a June 14 flight to the deck of India’s largest naval vessel, the INS Vikramaditya.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over the official induction of the “ultra-modern” aircraft carrier, anchored off the coast of Goa.
The extravaganza was indeed spectacular. The official government website describes the event in glowing language.
“Shri Narendra Modi, witnessed a three-hour long breathtaking display of naval capabilities aboard the Navy’s biggest and newest acquisition – which included a rocket firing demo, an air power demo and a steam past by naval ships. He was given a briefing on the ship’s capabilities.”
