latest report that is coming out of Cochin shipyard limited around ins Vikrant as per this report ins Vikrant has completed its harbor trial and now this aircraft carrier will undergo basin trial in close proximity as per the reports this aircraft carrier will undergo basin trials from the month of September during a typical life cycle of testing a ship undergoes three different type of trials the first one is called harbor trial second one is called basin trial and the third one is called sea trials during the harbor trial the aircraft carrier was taken out from dry dock and its engines were powered after testing the engines on the maximum power rating then the tests were done on its power distribution segment while testing the power distribution segment the power rating at each and every subsystem is evaluated and then all the drives beat the hydraulic or the electrical drives are tested after successfully testing all these drives this aircraft carrier is declared fit to enter the basin trial before talking about other two tests let's understand how the state of c are defined the Douglas c scale is the scale which measures the height of the waves and also measure the swell of the c the scale is very simple to follow and it is expressed in 1 of 10 degree the Douglas scale also called as international c and swell scale was devised by captain hp Douglas the scale has two codes one code for the estimating the c state and the other code is for describing the swell of the sea at zero degree there is actually no waves and the water is so glassy that you can see yourself in the water this is actually the theoretical stage at the basin trial but in reality during the basin trial there are some ripples in water and thus the sea state is approximately 1. the c can be really rough and on the c state if the degree is 9 one can observe waves of more than 14 meters the keel of this aircraft carrier was laid in February 2009 whereas a design started somewhere in 1999. today this aircraft carrier stands almost complete at cochin shipyard limited and after completing its base in trial this aircraft carrier will enter sea trial likely later next year during the sea trial basically five different tests are performed to ensure this aircraft carrier can perform in any c state at any given condition the first one is called speed test during this test all its machinery is run at the maximum power rating and this ship is loaded with ballast to check its maximum loading it is during this stage the maximum speed ratings of this aircraft carrier is defined and the limits are imposed the next one is called crash stop to test a clash stop the vessel is ballasted or loaded to a predetermined draft and the propulsion machinery is set to the contracted maximum service setting the aircraft carrier is also sent for endurance test during which its maximum endurance is tested and then its maneuverability is also tested as you can see on your screen right now this is ins Cochin testing its system responsible for combating a nuclear attack on the ship this is a solvent that is washing the deck and the body of the ship automatically once this aircraft carrier will finish all these tests successfully then this aircraft carrier will undergo weapon integration and then the weapon testing since it is an aircraft carrier a Irving integration test will also be done and for that this aircraft carrier will require airwing as per the reports it is likely that super hornet block 3 will be selected we have already done a video on this and you can find the video in the description as well as the link above no doubt there are serious delays in the construction of this aircraft carrier however this was completely an indigenous effort and there are very few countries around the globe which can construct their own aircraft carrier this is a significant achievement and once this aircraft carrier will be operational it will provide Indian navy a significant edge in Indian ocean region there are many who compared the china already commissioned Shandong and by year 2023 they will also commission their type 3 aircraft carrier which likely will be larger and feature email but one should remember that china has to look at south china sea east china sea and only then they can come into Indian ocean region at any given point of time one American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier will be stationed in south china sea japan and south Korea are also enhancing their naval powers and Australia is getting slowly aggressive in south china sea this doesn't mean that India should not prepare for china but at the same time India should also not get into bean counting with china for now let's end this video on this positive note that India will be soon operating two aircraft carrier in Indian ocean region
