Buddenberg) Bob Wunderlick notes the delivery of the carrier Kusnetsov. The Russian term for ship is korabl; it applies equally to surface ships as submarines by the dictionary definition. Therefore the requirement to protect ships beyond range of land based aircraft can be interpreted in the Gorshkov sense of protecting submarines just as well as any other interpretation.
