India’s First Indigenous Aircraft Carrier Near Completion

India,is one step closer to putting its first indigenous aircraft carrier into the water—as soon as August.
The first sea trials are likely to follow 10 months later. Still, the new carrier, named INS Vikrant after India's first carrier, will not see deployment for another five years.
The carrier will be floated out on Aug. 12 and taken to the repair dock to carry out remaining work. Work will be completed by June 2014.
The carrier is expected to be handed over to the navy for induction by January 2018.
