"Vikramaditya" Aircraft Carrier Transferred to the Indian Navy
On November 16, the "Vikramaditya" aircraft carrier was transferred to the Indian Navy. Kirovsky Zavod had carried out modernization of ship's energy equipment.
The General Director of the Kirov Group, Georgy Semenenko, and the Deputy General Director, Mikhail Tikhonenko, took part in the ceremony of the handing over of the ship to the navy of the Republic of India. The Vikramaditya had been reconstructed from the heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov of the Russian Navy. The ship underwent a thorough modernization at OJSC PO Sevmash.
Kirov-Energomash (a subsidiary of the Kirov Group) rebuilt the entirety of the ship's energy equipment, manufactured all necessary parts, instruments, accessories, and compiled all the necessary operational documentation. Most parts and units were upgraded on the grounds of Kirovsky Zavod in St. Petersburg. Plant specialists disassembled, inspected, and repaired the high- and low-pressure turbines, the reduction gear, the regulation, control, and safety systems, and the turbo-circulatory, turbo- and electric oil pumps. The charging turbine sets were also replaced.
The ceremony was also attended by: the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, Dmitry Rogozin; the Chief of Staff of the Russian Navy Admiral, Viktor Chirkov; the President of the OJSC Joint Shipbuilding Corporation, Vladimir Shmakov; and the General Director of OJSC PO Sevmash, Mikhail Budnichenko.
