The INS Vikrant, India's first aircraft carrier, was decommissioned in late 1997. She is now berthed at the naval docks in Mumbai after being refitted as an impressive maritime museum. This battleship has exclusively served the Indian Navy even though she was built for the Royal Navy as the HMS Hercules. As Hercules, the carrier was laid up for 10 years before India purchased her in January 1957.
