  27. You'd think that I'd get that straight one of these days.  (That's the second
  28. time I made that same mistake, even after I wrote a paper on the fleet ;-)
  29. Varyag is Kuznetsov's sister ship.  Ulyanovsk is the full sized carrier that
  30. was under construction and is now scrapped.  I'll try to keep them straight in
  31. future.
