The INS Vikrant played a major role in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. INS Vikrant’s airfleet of Seahawk fighter aircrafts sank many enemy ships, destroyed aircrafts and onshore targets.
The result was Pakistan sent its submarine Ghazi to the Bay of Bengal to sink the Vikrant while at Visakhapatnam harbor. However Ghazi herself sank in the process.
The INS Vikrant was the prime factor in the naval blockade of East Pakistan. Vikrant earned 2 Mahavir Chakras and 12 Vir Chakras for its efforts.
