Soviet cruiser Varyag (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two ships in the Soviet Navy have been named Varyag after the Varangian people, the Viking ancestors of the Rus.

  • Soviet cruiser Varyag (1965), a Kynda-class missile cruiser completed in 1965, and decommissioned in 1990.
  • Soviet aircraft carrier Varyag, a never-finished Admiral Kuznetsov-class heavy aircraft carrying cruiser launched by the Soviet Navy in 1988, transferred incomplete to Ukraine in 1992, and sold to China in 1998.
