 World War II - Search View - MSN Encarta
When Germany invaded the USSR in June, Japanese leaders considered breaking the treaty and joining in from the east, but, making one of the most fateful decisions of the war, they chose instead to intensify their push to the southeast.
Large numbers of the aircraft were destroyed on the ground in the first day, however, and their tanks, like those of the French, were scattered among the infantry, where they could not be effective against the German panzer groups.
The big question in the war was whether the USSR could survive a second German summer offensive, and the Russians were urging the United States and Britain to relieve the pressure on them by starting an offensive in the west.

 sci.military.naval FAQ, Part E - Aircraft Carriers
Their carriers are more likely to operate as part of a major fleet exercise, with numerous ships in company.
As the carrier force was drawn down from 15 to 12 ships, 3 vessels (CV 59, 60, 61) were retired without replacement; the remainder of decommissionings were scheduled replacements at the end of the ships' lifespan.
Re-use of the carriers in other roles is impractical, due to the cost of conversion, cost of operation, the generally poor condition of retired ships, and the fact that the carriers are much larger than is needed for virtually all potential new roles.

 CHINA'S AIRCRAFT CARRIER AMBITIONS
First, as the carrier was being dismantled for scrap, Chinese naval architects and engineers were able to see at first hand how it had been designed and built; using this information naval architects were able to prepare drawings for a light carrier.
Construction of a carrier or conversion of a secondhand vessel in a domestic yard would also be extremely costly, especially since much of the technology would have to be purchased abroad, quite aside from the new fighters, helicopters, early-warning aircraft, escort surface vessels, and screening submarines required.
Aircraft carriers are perceived as potent symbols of national power around the world, and China is no different.

They argue that aircraft carrier battle groups are becoming obsolete.40 Because of their high radar and electromagnetic visibility, proponents hold, carriers have become easy targets for precision-guided missiles.
Without protection the carrier would just be a big target for a sub/air/sea strike from any number of US assets out there.
Carrier groups in the future would need ships with phased radar arrays, and the sagacious thing to do would be to build the ships first and then the carriers (just as a person builds a foundation before the roof).

 Roel Van de Velde Gallery
Roel is building aircraft and warship models, with a special predilection for specific Soviet/Russian warship designs being obvious.
Two models of Project 636/Kilo-class submarines dominate Roel's collection (on the first photo an example in typical colours can be seen, together with a Gepard-class patrol vessel, made from 1:144 Revell kit; the second photo shows a Chinese Kilo-class, made from 1:144 Trumpeter kit)...
This kit is pretty poor, with lots of inaccuracies, and it takes a lot to be corrected into anything like a useful model, but put together it makes a good-looking piece - especially when accompanied with Kh-22/AS-4 Kitchen missile!
