Detailed explanation-1: -At sunset on 06 March 2017, as the Naval Ensign and Commissioning Pennant was lowered for the last time onboard INS Viraat, a glorious era in the history of the Indian Navy came to a nostalgic end.
Detailed explanation-2: -It had also floated several bids to this effect, none of which materialised. Subsequently in 2013, a decision was made to scrap the ship as she had become very difficult to maintain. In 2014, the ship was sold in an online auction to a ship breaker for Rs 60 crore.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ltd, the firm trying to convert Viraat into a museum, has so far not been able to procure a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Defence or even reach a formal consensus with shipbreaker Shree Ram Group, which bought Viraat as scrap for Rs 35.8 crore.
