She was pretty old ship...laid down in 1976. I remember reading about her, before she was even completed, in my uncle's copy of Jane's. Not even a picture of her then, just an artist's sketch.

The write up referred to her as the latest upping of the ante in the Cold War at the time. At 12,000 tons she wasn't much bigger than the Indianapolis of Jaws fame, which was about 10,000t. More along the lines of the Japanese cheat cruisers like the Tone (12,000t), built over the weight limit prior to WW2.

I'm surprised she could move under her own power. Our fighting boys used to get a kick out of hearing how the only Russian carrier had to be towed from place to place to be operational. Quite a statement on the preparedness of the Russian navy.
