Kiev is now a theme park in Tianjin if i'm not mistaken. Such a waste for the old girl, she could have made a decent medium STOBAR carrier with some love, $$$ and attention.HMAS Melbourne has never been used as a display or trainer - the vessel was too far gone to be lazarused as seaworthy. (It almost sank under tow - a number of times)
It's not been used for any duties. The closest its been used for anything was an apparent facsimile done of its deck and used for ground based training in the early 90's. That has never been substantiated.
The "holiday carriers" are the ex Russian - definitely not HMAS Melbourne.
