This isn't a Russian-language site. The English-language convention used for ships is "she", regardless of country or origin. I actually prefer the grammatically correct it, as it would avoid national preference arguments, but I'm not going to get my way on that either. - BillCJ (talk) 09:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be aircraft carrying cruiser instad of Aircraft carrier?

It says that it is called such by the Russians and on top of that the footnote says that it is a correct discription. Why insist on calling it a carrier?
