Amid China aggression, US largest warship likely to conduct naval exercise with India

Amid border tensions with China, Indian warships began conducting an exercise with the US Navy's nuclear-powered USS Nimitz close to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands on Monday.

The United States's USS Nimitz is the world's largest warship.

The Indian Navy carried out the exercise to test its capabilities and be battle-ready against Chinese forays in the seas amid the India-China tussle in eastern Ladakh.

Assets of the Eastern Naval Command and the Andaman and Nicobar Command of the Indian Navy had been deployed in the war games, sources said.
