India need to build the latest generation aircraft carriers i.e. nuclear powered ones. It is true that India does not have the technology to do so right now (we are building a conventional one now; and India need at least three such to protect the three sides of coast); and we should collaborate with countries like Israel and France to build such ships. Our deterrence has no meaning without the aircraft carriers. Our sights should be set on the future and the projects should have nuclear powered submarines in mind too.
