Rejected petition Save INS "Viraat" formerly HMS Hermes
More details
Indian Navy Ship "Viraat" will be decommissioned in 2016. She is the last remaining example of a WWII era British aircraft-carrier and, as "HMS Hermes", she was the flagship of the Falklands Task Force in 1982.
She should be returned home and preserved as a memorial to that campaign, those who sailed in and flew from her.
