Soviet aircraft carrier


The list of aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union and Russia includes all aircraft carriers built by, proposed for, or in service with the naval forces of either the Soviet Union or Russia. Although listed as aircraft carriers, none of them (with the exception of the never built Ulyanovsk) is a true aircraft carrier. Specifically, they were ASW helicopter equipped ships or aircraft cruisers, including the FADMSU Admiral Kuznetsov, the only carrier still in service with the Russian Navy. Russia does have plans for the building of a supercarrier code named Project 23000E. However, it currently lacks a shipyard large enough to build such an aircraft carrier.
