  23. As far as I have heard, construction is continuing, either for the Ukranian 
  24. navy or for international sale.  The Chinese and the Indians are major 
  25. customer prospects, despite what either of them might say.  Both are in a 
  26. position of becoming a major world power within the next 20 years, and a 
  27. nuclear carrier would certainly help national image, if nothing else.
