  • Pyotr Velikiy (Peter the Great) is a heavy nuclear-powered cruiser, the flagship of the Northern Fleet of Russia. The fourth ship of the 1144 Orlan project (NATO: Kirov-class battlecruiser). The biggest battlecruiser in the world with a displacement of 26 000 tons, second only to aircraft carriers.
    At the beginning of its construction in the 1980s, the ship was named Kuibyshev, and then Yuri Andropov. By the time it started service, it was given the name Pyotr Velikiy and carries it to this day.
    The cruiser’s main objective is fighting the enemy ship groups, first and foremost the aircraft carriers, as well as protecting the sea from attacks. For that purpose, it is equipped with anti-ship supersonic missiles and a wide range of defensive measures against underwater, surface and airborne threats.
    Thanks for watching!

    When you visit Russia:
    -Wow is that a battleship?
    -No, that's a cruiser.
    -Isn't that one is the cruiser?
    -No that's a corvette.
    -Wait, isn't that a corvette?
    -No that's just Yuris fishing boat.

      I agree it's the modern incarnation of a battleship. Unfortunately, just like a battleship it places all of its eggs in one basket and can do little that a fleet of smaller, less expensive warships can't. That is why most navies don't bother with large, expensive ships anymore. It's not like you need a 45,000-ton hull to support a 16-inch gun turret. A modern missile system can be mounted in virtually any hull, large or small.

      The Kirov is more vulnerable than you think. The US Navy can easily destroy the Kirov.

The Kirov would get sunk by these missiles before they even knew what hit them.

Beautiful in our own right as we were a Batch 3 (HMS Gloucester). Arleigh Burkes, Type 23 Frigates and Tico class are the other best looking.

      On The contrary, during ww2 in Pacific when Battleship no longer really mattered they were great option to escort carriers as battlecrusiers were fast and their lack of armor or weaponry didn't matter. And their armment was enough to be a great coastal support. Ironically Kongou Class Battalcrusiers made more war impact then mighty Yamato Class or more obsolete Ise Class and Fuso Class. Furthermore, despite Hood being Battlecrusier her strength was similar to Bismarck (tho by sheer luck of Bismarck crew she was hit in weak spot and ammo detonated)

      It has been in this deep refit at the dry dock at the Severodvinsk shipyard in Severodvinsk, Russia. It is currently nearing completion and it should be floated out of the dry dock in the coming days! So there will be two Kirov Class Battlecruisers once again!
      Also, on a side note, the new and very secretive submarine Khabarovsk has been under construction in the warehouse behind the Admiral Nakhimov. Now that the dry dock's basin has been flooded, we can expect that to be launched in the coming days as well. It is rumored to carry 6 of the Poseidon strategic nuclear torpedos.

Hard to tell exactly what they'll be like, but looking at their new, smaller ships (frigates Adm. Gorshkov and Adm. Grigorovich, the tiny Buyan-M corvettes) the word badass comes to mind. So far what I've heard is that the 20 P-700 missiles will be replaced with 80 VLS cells for Kalibr/P-800 Onix/Zircon missiles, and the S-300 Fort replaced with S-400, possibly S-500 system. The Adm. Gorshkov is already using the S-350, which is literally the S-400 minus the longest range radars and missiles.

    However, remember the Bismark.
    All it took was one torpedo from an obsolete wood and canvas aircraft to disable her; and then a fleet of minor destroyers and other ships systematically reduced her to a hulk on the bottom of the sea.
    Also, remember the Yamoto.

    I get goosebumps when i think how the captain of the ship would say ...“ all men battlestations“ such a beautiful and dangerous ship.

    What a gorgeous ship, the Kirov is without a doubt a great warship despite its age.

    These ships are very good looking. The USSR/the Russians sure make some really cool equipment.

    Because aircraft carriers are obsolete, these monsters retrofitted with drone swarms, hypersonic zircons, S350S, Pantsir and quadrupled magazines in place of Granit ought to be the way to go for Russian flagships.

    Honestly, I never even knew that there were cruisers under way by nuclear power. I thought nuclear was only for subs, so they can run deep for extended periods, and carriers, which are so gigantic they need massive amounts of power. Very cool and informative video.

      Yea our Pioneering Spirit has just conventional engines. But it can come along and just lift up those tiny carriers?
      If you have read the schematics of those Ford class reactors? You would know there is no massive amount of power on them.

    What ever their combat ability is, the Soviets always made the sexiest looking equipment. Like the Su-27s and Kirov Class. Pure eye candy.
