What Academy Award winning actor was equally at home wielding a sword, shooting a lever action rifle, launching a torpedo, flying an attack helicopter, or piloting a spaceship?

Took out eight aircraft and killed the squadron CO. I'd say so.

Guess its my turn... Who was advised to settle down in Mongolia after completing their wartime mission?

The R-29 series SLBMs are a nomenclature nightmare. Various flavours of the R-29 are identified by NATO as either SS-N-8 Sawfly, SS-N-18 Stingray, or SS-N-23 Skiff, with various mods of each, and other Soviet/Russian designators to add more confusion. The Delta IV boomers carried the RS-29RM (SS-N-23), then the R-29RMU Sineva (also SS-N-23), and now you see talk of the R-29RMU2 Layner or Liner (presumably still SS-N-23).

Excepting Dmitry Donskoy (TK-208), which was refitted as a testbed for the new Bulava SLBM.

Yeah, the film was apparently shot in 1921-24, during part of which time she was still around as a training vessel, and of course the ship was gone by the time the film was released in late 1925. The shots with the ship underway used a stand in.

Dvenadsat Apostolov ('Twelve Apostles), though I understand Potemkin herself also appeared in some scenes.

File Name: First Navy Jack File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 18 Sep 2012 File Category: Middle East A Harpoon Commander's Edition (HCE) scenario for the Middle East Battleset. This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side. In 1980, then Secretary of the Navy Edward Hidalgo directed that the US Navy ship with the longest active status should display the First Navy Jack until its departure from service. With the decommissioning of the carrier USS Kitty Hawk in May 2009, the honor of flying the First Navy Jack passed to the USS Enterprise. Now, during the final deployment of her career, the Big E has been diverted from her return voyage to take on one final mission: put an end to the carnage in Syria. The First Navy Jack will be flying high. Click here to download this file

Today's RIA Novosti report states that she was able to make 23 knots, which isn't terrible, but of course still might not be sufficient with a full air wing of MiG-29K, fuel, weapons, crew and supplies, and with a Pakistani torpedo breathing down your neck.

Last I heard the Kh-32 had been cancelled? That's a good looking bird.
