“The Cochin Shipyard has the capability to build a similar class. So we are thinking of a repeat order to build an aircraft carrier like Vikrant. Moreover, new technology has arrived. We can now launch unmanned aircraft from this aircraft carrier and drones for surveillance,” the Admiral explained.

The passing-out parade not only symbolized the completion of training but also showcased the dedication and readiness of Agniveers to serve the nation. The Navy’s strategic plans for enhancing its fleet underscore its commitment to leveraging technological advancements for maritime defense.
