Research: As the first aircraft carrier, everything is zero, and any technology needs to be explored. This "Varyag" is used to "practice hands". As a technical test ship, it will lay the foundation for building a new aircraft carrier in the future.

Training: training the operators of the first batch of aircraft carriers.

Must be in the army. So far, no country will take an extremely expensive aircraft carrier as a decoration as a special training facility. The new pilots of the US Navy are also trained by the way when using active aircraft carriers to dock at their own docks. If Varyag is used for training, why should it be equipped with Aegis phased array radar, 1 1 anti-aircraft gun, FN-3000 interceptor and other weapons with strong combat capability? This shows that it is used for battlefield PK. The training ship does not need to go to the battlefield, but only needs to be equipped with the most basic self-defense weapons. My guess is to use the Varyag to train the earliest aircraft carrier talents for myself and the new aircraft carrier in the future. When talents can, "Varyag" will carry out combat missions.
