Project 1143.7 aircraft carrier

Ulyanovsk, Soviet designation Project 1143.7, was a STOBAR aircraft carrier laid down at the now-defunct Black Sea Shipyard on 25 November 1988 as the first of a class of nuclear-powered supercarriers for the Soviet Navy. It was intended for the first ship to offer true blue water naval aviation capability for the Soviet Union, as the ship would have been equipped with two steam catapults that could launch heavier fixed-wing aircraft, representing a major advance over the comparatively smaller Kuznetsov class, which could only launch lighter/partly loaded aircraft via a bow ski-jump. However, construction of Ulyanovsk was stopped at about 40% due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, and the unfinished hull was later scrapped in early 1992.
