NEW DELHI - India will unfurl a new naval flag that retires a British colonial symbol to markPrime Minister Narendra Modi's office said.
Modi will reveal the new design on Friday in southern Kerala state at the commissioning of the Vikrant, which his office touted as"a significant step" for military self-reliance. The Saint George cross has been a feature of the naval ensign since 1928, except for a brief spell between 2001 and 2004, when the Hindu nationalist government of the time replaced it with a blue Indian Navy crest.
The Vikrant enters service alongside a smaller aircraft carrier bought second-hand from Russia, which has long been a major arms supplier to New Delhi.
