India’s plans for a third aircraft carrier have reportedly been shelved, after having been placed on hold in May 2019.
據報道，印度的第三艘航空母艦計劃在2019年5月被擱置後被擱置。
The carrier, INS Vishal, was planned as a much more ambitious and higher end warship to be fielded alongside the Navy’s sole serving carrier, the INS Vikramaditya, and the upcoming light carrier INS Vikrant.
該航母，INS Vishal，計劃作為一艘更雄心勃勃和更高端的戰艦，與海軍唯一的現役航母INS Vikramaditya和即將到來的輕型航母INS Vikrant一起部署。
The Vikramaditya was a laid down in the Soviet Union in the 1980s, and was extensively refurbished in Russia and equipped with advanced MiG-29K fighters.
Vikramaditya是20世紀80年代在蘇聯建造的，在俄羅斯進行了廣泛的翻新，並配備了先進的米格-29K戰鬥機。
It displaces approximately 45,000 tons.
它可以置換大約45，000噸。
The lighter Vikrant, at around 40,000 tons, was built in India with Russian assistance and is over half a decade behind schedule.
重量較輕的維克蘭特號重約4萬噸，是在俄羅斯的幫助下在印度建造的，比原計劃落後了五年多。
The carrier is 600% over budget.
承運人超出預算600%。
Both carriers are relatively light and rely on ski jump launch systems - similar to that of the British Queen Elizabeth Class and Russian Kuznetsov Class - which restrict the maximum takeoff weights of fighters operating from their decks.
這兩艘航母都相對較輕，依賴於滑雪跳躍發射系統-類似於英國伊麗莎白女王級(Queen Elizabeth Class)和俄羅斯庫茲涅佐夫級(Kuznetsov Class)-這種系統限制了從甲板上操作的戰鬥機的最大起飛重量。

The difficulties developing the INS Vikrant are thought to have discouraged the Indian Navy from seeking to commission more indigenous carriers - particularly those with more ambitious designs like the Vishal.
開發INS Vikrant的困難被認為阻礙了印度海軍尋求委託更多的本土航母-特別是那些具有更雄心勃勃的設計，如Vishal的航母。
The INS Vishal was expected to displace over 80,000 tons, and would integrate an electromagnetic catapult system (EMALS) to allow fighters to deploy with considerably more fuel and munitions.
INS Vishal預計將排水量超過8萬噸，並將集成電磁彈射系統(EMALS)，以允許戰鬥機使用更多的燃料和彈藥進行部署。
EMALS would also better facilitate the deployment of more advanced carrier based support aircraft including airborne early warning platforms such as the E-2 Hawkeye and KJ-600.
EMALS還將更好地促進部署更先進的基於航母的支持飛機，包括E-2鷹眼和KJ-600等機載早期預警平臺。
The U.S. Navy’s troubled carrier USS Gerald Ford is currently the only warship with such a system, although the two Chinese Type 002 Class ships currently under construction will integrate similar systems.
美國海軍陷入困境的航空母艦傑拉爾德·福特號(USS Gerald Ford)是目前唯一擁有這種系統的軍艦，儘管目前正在建造的兩艘中國002級艦艇將集成類似的系統。
The lack of EMALS on current Indian carrier designs will place them at a disadvantage against next generation American and Chinese carriers, but has also made them considerably cheaper both to develop and to operate.
目前印度航母設計缺乏EMALS，這將使它們與下一代美國和中國航母相比處於劣勢，但也使它們的開發和運營成本大大降低。
EMALS technologies were to be purchased from the United States, which is currently seeking to make them compatible with its new generation of F-35C fighters on the carrier USS Gerald Ford.
EMALS技術是從美國購買的，美國目前正在尋求使其與傑拉爾德·福特號航空母艦上的新一代F-35C戰鬥機兼容。
