Back due to popular demand, a long-form THREAD on the story of aircraft carriers and the Indian Navy. 
The Indian Navy's carrier story reaches back to before the creation of the modern Indian Navy, into the period immediately after partition. While the Raj was dissolved in 1947 it took almost a decade for the British-led Royal Indian Navy to transition into an Indian-led service.
From independence until 1958 the post of Commander in Chief of the Royal Indian Navy &, after 1950, the Chief of the Naval Staff of the Indian Navy was held by a series of British officers:
R.Adm John Talbot Hall
V.Adm William Parry
Adm Charles Pizzey
V.Adm Stephen Hope Carlill
