Its interesting that the 1960s Soviet fleet with its long range aircraft, missile ships and ASW/VSTOL carriers was what the "carrierless" navy study said the RN would have to build to replace its carriers.By contrast, a carrier-based Soviet fleet would have looked more like the RN. Four to five carriers with AA and ASW escorts. The Sukhoi Su9, 11 and22 might have been a possible Air Force type for the carriers. The Mig23/27 looks very like a UK VG type.
