[FIFTY-FIVE lines quoting entire previous article deleted.  --CDR]

The Tbilisi has been renamed the Adm Kuznetsov, and the second ship of
this class has been renamed the Varyag (Sov's are staying away from
names of capitol cities :^).  This class has a ski-jump bow,
conventional propulsion, and is about the size of the US Midway class.
The follow-on to this class is the Ul'yanovsk.  It is nuclear, has
catapults, and is slightly larger than the Kuznetsov.
