The Indian Navy on March 14, 2008 received a severe censure from the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) for buying a 36-year-old warship USS Trenton without undertaking its physical assessment.
The CAG said by Indian Navy standards the service life of an aircraft carrier was 40 years and that of a landing ship dock 21 years. The report said though the Landing ship dock price was initially concluded to be 48.23 million US dollars, it had gone up to 50.6 million dollars and may rise further. "The ship was purchased in a hasty manner" and "without undertaking any physical assessment", the report said.
