Forbin and Jura, try these pics...not much better, but a little larger:

CDG-CSG-01.jpg

CDG-CSG-02.jpg

CDG-CSG-03.jpg

CDG-CSG-04.jpg

From the meretmarine French Translation that Jura provided:

meretmarine said:
Forward is the air defense frigate Chevalier Paul. To port are the multi- mission frigates ( FREMM ) Aquitaine and Provence. To starboard the Augsburg German frigate and the British frigate HMS St Albans. Then in back, the replenishment ship Marne.

Forbin, I updated your post accordingly.

A question.

Has an harrier ever landes on the Vikramaditya? Would be a marvelous picture
Well, I have seen all of the following pictures from when the Viraat and the Vikram initially operated together at sea. You see numerous pics of harriers from the Viraat approaching the Vikram and then hovering over her as if though they were ready to land...but I have not actually seen one on deck.

No doubt they could do it...and a landing or two would not seriously damage. I just do not know how strong and heat treated the deck is though.

They have clearly made landing runs for the Vikramaditya. Whether they have actually landed or not, I cannot say, but I doubt it.

Whether they plan to use them off of the Virkam after the Viraat is retired I also do not know.

I will copy your question and my response over to the Indian thread and see if someone there has more info.

Well, the Indians have three fixed-wing aircraft carriers in the water right now.

Nice looking, capable vessels. Bravo for India.

No one else except the United states can make that statement.
