[edit] Soviet Nimitz?

I'm moving this content here until Mathieu121 can back this up:

A new design based on the Ulyanovsk and the americain Nimitz-class super carriers is being researched and constructed for the Russian Navy^{[citation needed]}.

[edit] Uncited material

The following has been removed from the article:

As new aircraft-carriers come into production today, they are seen as a leading symbol of a nation, not of power^{[citation needed]}, therefore it is higly probable that a new aircraft-carrier design will be in production.^{[citation needed]} In 2005, unconfirmed sources indicated that the People's Republic of China Navy (PLAN) may purchase the blueprints of Ulyanovsk as part of its ambition to achieve "blue-water" capability.^{[citation needed]}

Per the verifiability policy, please provide reliable sources for these assertions before adding them to the article. Kirill Lokshin 01:54, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Specs added by anonyomous user and reverted by Aerobird

I think the specs that the anonymous user entered were from GlobalSecurity/John Pike, where as the table specs are from Andrew Toppan. I am more inclined to believe John Pike's figures, but it'd be nice to have a more definitive source on this. Since the carrier was partially constructed, there must be some hard information somewhere. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk)

One reason I reverted them was because they introduced contridictory data - in the infobox, the displacement was changed from 80,000 tons to 65,000 tons, while in the article the same original number was changed to 85,000 tons. I checked the HazeGray listing (link in article) and found it agreed with the 'original' data, so I changed it back.

People (nearly always anons) changing specifications w/out citing a source is rapidly becoming a pet peeve of mine... - Aerobird ^{Target locked - Fox One!} 01:16, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
