Kanwa is always a suspect source though, I almost wish I didn't mention that article.
Although, I thought it a very interesting use of the Varyag as a test platform for installing and testing equipment purchased for a new Carrier design. For a nation developing something as complicated as an aircraft carrier, it certainly helps to have something the size of the Varyag to adapt trial and error with, that way you don't screw up your design when you go to build a new one.
In that regard it would be a novel use of the carrier.
