USS Kitty Hawk
by balaji ramani on Feb 28, 2008 03:18 PM

Does anybody on this discussion board know anything about the Kitty Hawk??

It is the oldest aircraft carrier in the US Navy. It was commissioned in 1961 and has been in active service ever since. It is the last of the US carriers that run on steam power (the rest of the fleet are now nuclear).

So should India accept a ship that is 47 years old, even if it is given for free???

Can India afford to maintain & run such an old carrier???

These are the questions that need to be asked rather than needless fights over US slavery or Commie slaver!!!
