Aircraft facilities

 (fd - 15,500 m², ha - 5,600 m² / 44,240 m³): Flight deck: 321.2 x 79.5m. Hangar: 175.0 x 32.0 x 7.90 m. There are 3 deck-edge elevators (50t, 20 x 15m). There were 2 steam catapults. Aircraft fuel stowage: 5000 t of jet fuel.

Project history

This was the projected nuclear-powered successor to the Kuznetsov class, equipped with conventional steam catapults. She was laid down at Nikolayev in December 1988 and although her launch was expected during 1991, the economic collapse that year badly slowed work, and the split between Russia and Ukraine made essential parts such as the reactors undeliverable. By February 1992 this ship, which was 20%, was broken up.

Ship protection

Underwater protection consists of 3 longitudinal bulkheads (2nd bulkhead is armoured). Aviation fuel tanks and magazines have box protection.
