In 1995, Russia's Pacific Fleet, which was under the greatest financial constraints, made an amazing move - transferring the fleet's largest ship in terms of tonnage to the Pacific Fleet, where it is now located. The deal was contingent on South Korea dismantling them into about 2 square meters of steel and not using them for military purposes.
The Minsk, the second of the Soviet Union's Kiev-class medium-sized carriers, was commissioned in 1978 and transferred to the Pacific Fleet in 1979. The Minsk was quite a sight to behold at the time, and her arrival ended the Soviet Union's history of not having a large main ship in the Far East. Especially since Minsk was homeported in Vladivostok, just over 200 nautical miles from Japan, the latter had its hands full with the Minsk during the Cold War era of the 1980s.
The Minsk was a 40,500-ton carrier with four turbines, a speed of 32 knots, a range of 4,000 to 13,500 nautical miles, and a crew of more than 2,000. The ship carries 12 Yak 38 vertical take-off and landing fighters and 19 card 27 anti-submarine helicopters, the former can seize local air power, can be equipped with AA-8, AS-17 and other air and ground/sea attack weapons, performance and we often say that the British Sea Harrier aircraft is equivalent to; the latter is to fully combat the United States of America's nuclear submarines to protect the carrier and the safety of the fleet. The Minsk is a distinctive carrier in the world because it is built half like an aircraft carrier and half like a cruiser. While Western carriers desperately try to empty their decks for carrier aircraft, the Minsk takes up 40 percent of the deck space to install weapons such as SS-N-12 cruise missiles, SA-N-4 anti-aircraft missiles, SS-N-14 anti-submarine missiles, twin 76-millimeter cannons and other weapons that should be fitted to other ships.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Minsk had no logistical base, because Ukraine, which produces it, has become independent, while the carrier is in the hands of Russia, to repair can be, but to give the dollar, the same uncovered Russian Navy had to leave it to its own devices.
On Oct. 22, 1995, the Minsk and Novorossiysk were led out of Vladivostok harbor by several tugboats, and many Russian sailors shed tears of sadness. The South Korean defense sector, as well as U.S. intelligence officials, carefully analyzed the mystery, and even though the Russian military removed or blew up the weapons and electronic systems at the beginning of the delivery, the technological ideas left behind still surprised the South Koreans and Americans in an unusual way. Under Russia's repeated urging, the Novorossiysk carrier was turned into scrap metal under the welding torch of the South Koreans; but South Korea tried to bring the Minsk back to life, realizing its own "carrier dream" ahead of schedule. In 1997, the Asian financial turmoil turned the Four Little Dragons of Asia into Four Little Bugs, and the Minsk became a liability. Heard that China has a company wants to buy, South Korea immediately agreed to 5.3 million U.S. dollars cheap off. 1998 September Minsk came to Shatian Port, Dongguan, Guangdong Province, in August 1999 towed to the Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard, closed large-scale repair and renovation. Currently the Minsk refurbished, May 9, 2000 sailed to Shenzhen Dapeng Bay, become the world's few by 40,000 tons of aircraft carriers transformed into a large-scale military theme park.
(The same ship "Kiev" was also converted into a large military theme park Tianjin Binhai aircraft carrier theme park)
