However Russia has a way more tactical ones, because it's a continental country and must be ready to fight against any potential enemy right near its border on even inside (e.g. "Базальт", "Вулкан", "Яхонт/Оникс" for sea launch and "Точка-У", "Искандер" etc for land launch).

My job in the Navy had me studying the Soviet Navy, I knew all about their armament, crew size, propulsion, most everything the US knew about the Soviet fleet, I had access to.
Our tech I believe is beyond what their's is then and now, back then, they had a lot more of it. Their radar for instance I believe was better than ours, but that's all changed because of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan , war dollars means more upgrades.
Aircraft carriers have a major purpose in any chess game the president might play, no country wants one off their shore if they have a problem with the US. I got to tour the USS RONALD REAGAN when my daughter was assigned to it. Great ship and a force to be reckoned with!

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
