Alang, India boasts a huge ship scraping operation and there is a British Carrier there with the Harrier "Ski Jump".
I think it might be the "HMS Invcincible", but I'm not up on my British Carriers.
Does anybody know what Carrier it is?
Check out Google Earth. Copy and paste:
N 21° 22' 52.45, E 72° 10' 39.24
Just wondering!

Jerry,it is marked as HMS VENGEANCE on my Google earth (not that you should believe a lot of the info marked on it ! but correct in this instance), you need to turn on Military in Google earth community under layers
H.M.S. VENGEANCE (R71) / H.M.A.S. VENGEANCE
/ MINAS GERAIS (BRAZILIAN NAVY)
A sad end after 60 years (May 2004)
Her first aircraft were Seafire, Barracuda and a Corsair in Jan '45
