CV Pr 71
Project 71 emerged soon after Soviets introduced carriers into their naval building program in 1938. The original plan didn't specify any dedicated carrier projects but soon after a TTZ was issued for light carrier with about 13 000ton displacement and 40 aircrafts. Original armament fit was 3 dual 130mm guns, 8 dual 100mm guns and 4 quad 37mm AA guns. Eventually the armament was reduced to 8 single 100mm guns and 4 quad 37mm guns. The hull and machinery was based on the pr. 68 Chapaev class light cruisers being build at the moment. The design was abandoned at the outbreak of WWII.
CV Pr 72
Project 72 was studied in 1944-45 and in most sources it is mentioned at least two variants of this project, one showed here with displacement and size of roughly the same as UK Illustrious class and another one considerably larger with approx. 62 aircrafts and displacement of over 30 000 tons. The variant showed here features 8 dual 130mm guns, 8 dual 85mm guns and 8 dual 37mm AA guns.
CV Pr Kostromitinov
Project Kostromitinov is one of the most interesting, yet least known of all the carrier projects. It's a study of Lieutenant Kostromitinov, who studied the concept of German carrier Graf Zeppelin. The design bears similarities to the German project albeit it’s much larger, 300m full length and over 50 000 tons full load displacement. Armament was 8 twin 152mm casemate mounts, 4 triple and 6 twin 100mm guns and 8 quad 37mm guns. 66 fighters and 40 bombers were to be carried.
CV Pr69 AV
Project 69AV dates immediate post-war era, 1945-46 when it was studied whether the incomplete heavy cruiser pr.69 Kronstadt could be able to modified as a aircraft carrier. 76 aircrafts were intended and armament consisted 8 dual 130mm guns and 16 dual 37mm AA guns.
