The ship was renamed as “Vikrant” meaning valiant.

The ship’s motto is "Jayema Sam Yudhi Sprdhah" from the Rig Veda which means ‘I completely defeat those who dare to fight with me’.

INS Vikrant was India’s first light fleet aircraft carrier. Captain Pritam Singh was the first commanding officer of the carrier.
