#1 Something else to remember when reading this: the Sevastopol shipyards were used to build the previous Soviet aircraft carriers, but were allowed to deteriorate while they were in Ukrainian hands. It will take at LEAST five years to get those shipyards back up to the level they were before the Russians allowed them to run down. I'm sure that played a significant role in Russia's decision to retake the Crimea. Now they're trying to take enough Ukrainian territory to form a land corridor from Russia to the Crimea.
