USSR
The modified kyiv Class aircraft carrier cruiser Admiral Gorshkov. It originally entered service as Baku, and was later renamed. Its sensors are worth highlighting, based on electronic scanning equipment, although they did not give the expected results. Decommissioned in 1996, she was later sold to India and converted into a continuous deck aircraft carrier.

The US Navy aircraft carriers USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63), USS Midway (CV-41) and USS Nimitz (CVN-68) sailing together in the early 1980s. We can see in some ways the evolution in American carrier design from 1945 (Midway) to the late 1970s (Nimitz), although Midway's modernization owes much to the Forrestal design. Note how Midway is the only one without Tomcats on the deck, instead flying the F-4S Phantom that was replaced by the Hornet before it was decommissioned.
