The controversial sea trials of the INS Vikramaditya in Russia, initially
described as an embarrassing failure, appear to have actually been a success
, while propulsion problems developed by the aircraft carrier are not nearly
as serious as reported in the media.
The malfunctioning of the boilers that occurred during high-speed tests will
not require their replacement or removal from the vessel. The problem has
been pinned down to insulation lining that is placed between the boiler
steel casing and ceramic firebricks. Traditional asbestos lining was not
used at the request of Indian specialists and replacement material developed
slight deformation when the boilers were run at full power, causing some
firebricks to fall out. The Indian side has now agreed to the use of
asbestos cardboard. | y*h 发帖数: 25423 | |
