One of the explanations for this fiasco - which is likely to leave naval officers red-faced - is that the original picture may have been of Viraat but someone photoshopped the American carrier there, presumably because the Indian carrier wasn't "impressive" enough.

I suspect someone in the art department was cropping the original picture and took out the wrong ship.

from the description of the US carrier this seems a likely candidate

Indian bureaucrats (of the military and civilian persuasion)-they never fail at trying to set new standards of incompetence.
