Project 23000E

Project 23000E or Shtorm is a proposal for a supercarrier designed by the Krylov State Research Center for the Russian Navy.[1] The cost of the export version has been put at over US$5.5 billion,[4] with development expected to take ten years.[4]

History

The carrier is being considered for service with the Russian Navy's Northern Fleet as a replacement for Admiral Kuznetsov which was commissioned in 1991. The Nevskoye Design Bureau is also reported to be taking part in the development project.[5] Although the creation of a new aircraft carrier, along with the Lider-class destroyers, has been postponed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, it is still mentioned in the Russia's State Armament Programme for 2018–2027 released in May 2017.[6] According to Russian officials, a new heavy aircraft carrier should be laid down between 2025 and 2030.[7]

In early July 2016, the design of the aircraft carrier was offered to India for purchase.[8][4]

gollark: It's easy to say that if you are just vaguely considering that, running it through the relatively unhurried processes of philosophizing™, that sort of thing. But probably less so if it's actually being turned over to emotion and such, because broadly speaking people reaaaallly don't want to die.
gollark: Am I better at resisting peer pressure than other people: well, I'd *like* to think so, but so would probably everyone else ever.
gollark: Anyway, I have, I think, reasonably strong "no genocide" ethics. But I don't know if, in a situation where everyone seemed implicitly/explicitly okay with helping with genocides, and where I feared that I would be punished if I either didn't help in some way or didn't appear supportive of helping, I would actually stick to this, since I don't think I've ever been in an environment with those sorts of pressures.
gollark: Maybe I should try arbitrarily increasing the confusion via recursion.
gollark: If people are randomly assigned (after initial mental development and such) to an environment where they're much more likely to do bad things, and one where they aren't, then it seems unreasonable to call people who are otherwise the same worse from being in the likely-to-do-bad-things environment.I suppose you could argue that how "good" you are is more about the change in probability between environments/the probability of a given real world environment being one which causes you to do bad things. But we can't check those with current technology.
