Soviet aircraft carrier Kiev​

Kiev is an aircraft carrier (heavy aircraft cruiser in Russian classification) that served the Soviet Navy and the Russian Navy from 1975 to 1993. It was built between 1970 and 1975 at Chernomorski factory in Mykolaiv and was the first Kiev-class vessel to be built. It is currently part of a theme park in China.

The Kiev class, Soviet designation Project 1143 Krechyet (gyrfalcon), was the first class of fixed-wing aircraft carriers (heavy aircraft cruiser in Soviet classification) built in the Soviet Union for the Soviet Navy.

Looks like they are transporting a CH-53 or something, on the bow in a protective coating?

View attachment 284168

Yes that CH-53 is wrapped in a plastic protective coating. More than likely the CH-53 was being transported to Hawaii. This photo was taken in May 1972 along with this one;
