INS Vikramaditya (Sanskrit: विक्रमादित्य, Vikramāditya, Vikramaditya was a legendary 1st century BCE emperor of Ujjain, India, famed for his wisdom, valour and magnanimity.) is the new name for the former Soviet aircraft carrier Admiral Gorshkov, which has been procured by India, and is estimated to enter service in the Indian Navy in 2013.
The Vikramaditya was originally the modified Kiev class aircraft carrier Baku built in 1978–1982 at Black Sea Shipyard, Mykolaiv, Ukraine. The ship is presently being extensively refitted at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia.
