Question

Where would the Red Fleet timeline's new experimental Soviet carrier be used?

Short answer

It would go to the Pacific Fleet to develop carrier doctrine. The scenario does not require this ship to operate in the North Atlantic or Arctic conditions that concern one participant.

Notes

The Red Fleet scenario assigns its new experimental Soviet carrier to the Pacific Fleet. Its purpose is to develop carrier doctrine. That planned employment answers a concern about taking the design into the North Atlantic or Arctic. Its operational setting and training purpose remain parts of the alternate-history scenario.
