Soviet blue-water antisubmarine ships: why?
In addition to big but somewhat conventional Krestas and Udaloys dubbed Large ASW Ships, the Soviets commissioned two lines of very large ASW ships: one were the Moskva antisubmarine cruisers, a half-cruiser half-helicarrier; the last of the Moskvas was the Kiev, which got an angled deck and Yaks; and the last of the Kievs was the Kuznetsov, which is still nominally an air defence platform first, an ASW ship second, and a surface combatant third.
There was another, a favorite of Florida congressmen it seems: the Project 1144 Orlan/Kirov-class nuclear-powered large ASW ship/anti-submarine cruiser. At least that's what it was when it was a 8000 t ship to be escorted by a similarly-sized Project 1165 Fougasse missile cruiser; then events eventuated.
On paper, these ships were to hunt fast-moving nuclear-powered missile submarines. In other terms, Polaris (and then Trident) boomers.
Question 1: was this mission ever realistic?
Question 2: with submarine missiles becoming ICBMs, is this mission relevant?
Question 3: what other missions can this concept be applied to, in isolation from Soviet context?
Question 4, which actually set off this post: given complete liberty, what would you put on a ship with such a CONOPS? Other than just ask for a Nimitz with Vikings, of course.

We didn't pass tech inspection because our antisubs (6-point harness) don't have tilt lock adjusters. Does anyone have an extra antisub belt or an extra with tilt locks that we could buy?
