  First Navy Day with Vikramaditya in commission
  December 4 is celebrated in India as Navy Day. On the eve of it, Vice-Admiral Satish Soni, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Naval Command, addressed the media and said the ‘deadline’ for the induction of INS Vikrant aircraft carrier being built at the Cochin Shipyard is late-2018. “To build a carrier is no simple task, especially if you are doing it the first time. But the shipyard has taken the challenge exceedingly well.” He further said that the Navy is seeking lifetime extension to four Kilo-class (Russian-built Project 877EKM) and two HDW (German-designed Project 209) submarines “to plug the gaps of reduction in its conventional submarine fleet.” Work progressing well on the indigenous carrier and the long-expected decision to prolong life of the submarine fleet are certainly good news prepared for release on the occasion of Navy Day 2013.
