- Gone. I can provide operational data if anyone would like it, but the ship was
- inactive since June 1986. The ship entered AFNE, Rio Santiago, in October
- 1988, and after some ideas for overall, including new propulsion, the idea was
- cancelled in October 1991. The ship was decommissioned, stricken, and sold for
- scrap by May, 1992.

- Only Moskva remains. In fact, there are plans to scrap it, and may have been
- already.

- Only Kiev and Novorossiysk remain, at Vladivostok. Very bad condition. Will
- probably be scrapped. The other is Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Gorshkov, a
- modified Kiev-class. It is in Northern Fleet, and the other two may be used
- for parts.
-
- Kuznetsov and Varyag are as stated, but all others not mentioned here I
- believe have been scrapped or never started.
