This vessel has gone under four mid-service refits, as well as a short refit. After so many refits it stops being a member of the original class and becomes something else. I personally believe that it should be listed as it's own class, as it's been changed far too many times to be considered a member of it's original class.--[[Special:Contributions/98.166.163.131|98.166.163.131]] ([[User talk:98.166.163.131|talk]]) 17:12, 3 February 2013 (UTC) |

Meaning of name?
What is the Viraat's correct name as spelt in Devanagari? It is presumably named in Sanskrit, but virāta is Sanskrit for "one who has lost his chariot". Anthony Appleyard 08:38, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
viratha means vi(without) ratha (chariot) viraat actually means huge and not giant as said. and by the way the spelling is correct. Kaushal mehta 08:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Does it have a catapult
does ins viraat have a catapult. if it has no catapult then , it may be only operate harriers?? so is its capabilty restricted by the lack of a catapult?. user:slime_mould9:46pm, 11 June 2006(IST)
She must have had catapults and arrester gear when built, because she operated fixed wing aircraft. However she was modifed in RN service to be a helicopter and later a commando carrier, so at some point the catapults were probably removed to save money. You are right if she currently has no catapult she can only operate Harriers or Helicopters. 145.253.108.22 15:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- HMS Hermes as-built had an angled deck, catapults, and arresting gear, and was capable of operating aircraft as large as the Blackburn Buccaneer. When she was converted to a commando carrier, the catapults and arrestor wires were removed, and when Harrier capability was added the "ski jump" was installed. If you look at the picture of Viraat you can see that the angled deck is still present, however there are no arrestor wires and, even if there were, even a MiG-29K is probably too large to be capable of operating from her.
- On that note, however, it's good to see that India is getting back into the naval fixed-wing aircraft business. - Aerobird Target locked - Fox One! 13:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
going a refit again
Is this bloody thing going or a refit again? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Viraat_under_repairs_no_carrier_for_Navy_till_09/articleshow/2905284.cms 202.89.69.130 (talk) 06:59, 4 April 2008 (UTC)Yourdeadin
Cleaning up ship system information
Most ship articles have informaton on the systems and aircraft. This is a bit broken, aside from most of this article, and could use some cleaning up to do.
I'm slowly working on all three carrier articles, Vikrant, this, and Vikramaditya. I could use some assistance. Vikramaditya I had done several hours of editing, and it still needs work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrevelyanL85A2 (talk • contribs) 10:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
