Maharashtra Cabinet approved the conversion of decommissioned carrier INS Viraat into India’s first-ever moored maritime museum-cum-marine adventure centre.
This ship is the world’s oldest aircraft carrier, according to the Indian Navy, which bought it in 1986 and recommissioned it a year later.
Viraat will host biodiversity centres and a marine adventure centre providing sailing and scuba-diving experiences.
