Chkalov — Soviet Premium Tier VII Aircraft Carrier.

Further development of the Project 71 aircraft carrier continued under the "large aircraft carrier" project, codenamed 71B. The ship would have made it possible for the main naval forces to utilize their aviation quickly and efficiently in the open seas and near the coastline in areas located far from naval bases, but the project wasn't implemented due to the outbreak of World War II.

Chkalov was released in the store on November 18th, 2024.
