I guess you're just a stupid troll who is unable to correct his own
ignorance and so has to engage in stupid strawman arguments, as above.

Hint: I know more about the Soviet Navy and Soviet shipbuilding than
you ever will.

Hint: There's a big difference between 'naval shipbuilding' and
suddenly building and operating a bunch of carrier battle groups.

Hint: The United States, with a bigger shipbuilding establishment,
more money, and a long history of carrier aviation and everything
associated with it, NEVER build at the rate the Russians claim they
are going to sustain.

Hint: The Russians talk about a lot of things. They actually do very
few of them. Just think of it as a modern version of Potemkin
Villages.
