| Russia to Build New Aircraft Carrier |
| 2007-06-05 |
| Russia will build a new aircraft carrier, Rosbalt reported. Its specification has been the highlight of recent meeting of high-ranked officers of RussiaÂ’s Navy and shipbuilding leaders, which was chaired by the RF Navy Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Masorin. Having an aircraft carrier in RussiaÂ’s Navy would be quite reasonable, the meeting participants specified, according to NavyÂ’s briefer Igor Dygalo. Experience of using them in foreign fleets is also to the credit of this undertaking, the briefer pointed out. RussiaÂ’s Defense Ministry and Navy have often emphasized the need of having from three to four aircraft carriers. Severodvinsk is the most probable place, where new aircraft carriers will finally emerge. There, a dock is being constructed that would allow to build surface ships of over 100,000-ton displacement. |
