A transparent sounding Chief
of Indian Navy, Admiral DK Joshi, minced no words at the
Navy Day press conference, spiced with doses of subtle humor. Joshi informed Aerospace
Diary that work on the Indian Aircraft
Carrier-2 had started two years ago and ‘all options were being evaluated including
arresting gear and it would take a “final shape” by mid- 2013. “We (then) hope
to start requirement approvals.”
This puts to rest all those critical of the IN saying no work
had started on the IAC-2, a sure recipe to another delayed program.

Joshi was clear: “”if we are going in for big programs, we
want a capability for operating that will have usage for the next 50 years.”
Words of wisdom
