I can see the intent to make a ship that is good at taking down both ships and aircraft but they had to make some sacrifices there. The USN could do the same thing, but if they wanted to make a ship particularly good at taking down aircraft for example they would have to sacrifice it's ability to take out ships.

I don't, in theory, see a reason why you couldn't build a ship with outstanding anti-air and anti-ship capability. It would probably just be really big. For example, if the US really wanted to, it could have done that with one of the Iowas before they were decommissioned. It would just be expensive and wouldn't make sense, as no one else has anything on the water that we would need a super-battleship to take down, and since Ticos work fine for anti-air, and we have CVNs for anti-ship, why waste the money?
Airplanes are better anti-ship weapons for naval warfare than very longrange missiles.
And I think we pulled them in the '90s...ccertainly, we didn't have any by the time I joined uo in '02.
Oh it's bigger than most USN ships. I didn't realise. Sure then they could be a little better, but it comes down to everything in the battle.
It's much bigger than USN ships, but it doesn't have the weaponsload increase you would expect from a ship 3 times as big as a Bunker Hill class cruiser. Especially when a USN CG(or DDG) can swap our missiles in the same launcher and change the mix based upon the anticipated mission. Kirov's can't do that.
Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

Ever since I my airwing was stationed on an aircraft carrier I didn't think they were a very good idea in a large scale war when a sub can creep up under it and blow it in half with a missile. The only ships that are really valuable in that situation are subs and small surface ships.

I've heard that during the Cold War the Soviets had a sub within range of every deployed carrier, ready to take it out, and that our ASW wasn't as good as we made it out to be, especially against some of the more advanced Soviet boats. True?

Only towards the end of the Cold War(due to the Walker Ring, long may they burn) when Soviet subs suddenly got a lot better(Toshiba sold them a bunch of propellor designs).
Now? We've gotten better(going so far as to rent a Swedish sub and train against it), they haven't, and they don't put to sea nearly as often as we do.

That's what everyone on my ship said.
