The construction of the Kirov’s lent weight to arguments in the U.S. Navy in favor of recommissioning the Iowa class battleships. Refit imagined by Neale "Vance" Davidson. The Russians designated the Kirov-class as heavy nuclear-powered guided missile cruisers. Other weapons are the automatic 130 mm (5.1 in) AK-130 gun system (except in Kirov which had two single 100 mm (3.9 in) guns instead), 10 21-inch (533-mm) torpedo/missile tubes (capable of firing SS-N-15 ASW missiles on later ships) and Udav-1 with 40 anti-submarine rockets and two sextuple RBU-1000 launchers. [3], Originally built for the Soviet Navy, the class is named for the first of a series of 4 ships to be constructed, the Kirov, which was renamed Admiral Ushakov in 1992. The 4 Virginia class cruisers were entering service at roughly the same time as the Kirovs, but were no where close to the firepower the Kirovs packed. A little entro ! The Kirov-class battlecruiser is a class of nuclear-powered warship of the Russian Navy, the largest and heaviest surface combatant warships (i.e. [9] The name was later changed to Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya (October Revolution),[11] and then just Kuznetsov;[12] finally, on 4 October 1990, the project for a fifth ship was scrapped.[9].

Balls of fire sprouted up all over the Kirov, setting fire to the deck and setting of explosions. • 128 9K95 Tor (SA-N-9 Gauntlet) point defense SAM[2] Compared to the most recent of the RN's cruisers they were quite different. Aerial starboard view of the foredeck of Kirov. The missile's top speed is between Mach 1.6 and 2.5. They r… This statement was later withdrawn and Russian sensationalist press speculated it may have been the result of internal politics within the Russian Navy, alleging that Admiral Igor Kasatonov was the uncle of Pyotr Veliky's commanding officer, Vladimir Kasatonov), who was testifying in the court hearings on the losses of K-159 and Kursk. That same year, when the entire Soviet system was reeling from economic mismanagement, the first Project 1144 Kirov-class missile cruiser was commissioned. https://deadliestfiction.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:SPARTAN_119/Iowa-class_Battleship_(1980s_refit)_vs_Kirov-class_battlecruiser?oldid=65803.

The Kirov-class battlecruisers Kirov and Frunze fired off a four S-300 SAMs. The Phalanx system consists of a 20mm Gatling gun mounted in a computer-controlled turret with a radar guidance system. But don’t let the class’s small size fool you—the nuclear-powered Kirovs are both the heaviest and largest class of non-aircraft carrier ships in the world. The Kirov returned fire, launching several P-700 missiles at that American ships. The lead ship, Kirov (renamed Admiral Ushakov in 1992 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union) was laid down in June 1973 at Leningrad's Baltiysky Naval Shipyard, launched on December 27, 1977 and commissioned on December 30, 1980. Their mission, to eliminate a couple of Kirov-class battlecruisers before that got in missile range of a carrier battlegroup. The Admiral Ushakov, which had been inoperable since 1989-1990, was stricken in October 1998 to provide material for a refit of the other active unit of the Kirov class, the Admiral Nakhimov. In Russia this class of ship is usually referred to by the designation Project 1144 Orlan (sea eagle). Examinations found no problems with the ship's reactor. The Kirov's SAMs and AK-630 CIWS for the combined short, medium, and long-range air/missile defense capabilities. [1640 x 923] Close Posted by 14 minutes ago Construction of the fourth ship, Yuriy Andropov, encountered many delays; her construction was started in 1986 but was not commissioned until 1998. Original plans called for the construction of 5 ships, however the last was cancelled. The Kirov class nuclear powered battlecruiser Admiral Nakhimov has been in dry dock undergoing a deep refit for years now, with the promise being the … The ship became inactive in 1994 and was decommissioned four years later. It utilized the basic hull design of the Kirov-class vessels, but with a modified superstructure, different armament, and was intended for a different role within the Soviet Navy. "Cruiser Kirov, now Admiral Ushakov, is returned to the Navy. The ship is currently held in reserve. The sheer size of the ships mean that they have plenty of space for a command, control and communications (C³) outfit, and could serve as effective fleet flagships. The captain of the Iowa, no doubt infuriated by the loss of the 'New Jersey and the damage to his own ship, ordered the Iowa fire back with everything she had. The M61 Gatling gun used in the Phalanx has a rate of fire of 3000-4500 rounds per minute, and fires armor piercing rounds at muzzle velocity of 1100 meters per second. The Admiral Nakhimov, one of four Kirov class nuclear cruisers built by the Soviet Union in the 1980s, appears finally to be nearing the final stages of a long-planned refit that will return her to service with a suite of lethal new weapons. So if they begin the refit of Pyotr Velikiy on time, Russia will have to face a period without any battlecruisers on active duty. The fleet expects to receive the updated cruiser in 2022, by which point her hull will be no less than 36 years old. The flight deck of Kalinin showing the hangar doors open and a Ka-25 and a Ka-27.

The ship was originally commissioned into service with the Soviet Navy in the 1980s, known back then as Kalinin, a name the ship kept until 1992. Basically because of how they defined cruisers, they found themselves severely lacking in true cruisers. The Kirov class battlecruisers have the world's largest missile battery, at 352 missiles. But nearly as desired are Russia's rare Kirov-class battlecruisers. Four of these ships were built between the 1970s and 1990s, with the armament and weapons fit of … These refitted Kirov class battlecruisers will supposedly feature a whole new set of sensors and subsystems, and most ominously, weapons. 1980s, North Pacific Ocean, an alternate universe where the Cold War "turned hot". The Ships participated in the Gulf War of 1991, firing cruise missiles and their 16 inch guns at Iraqi positions, before being decomissioned in the 1990s. The Kirov took on water and disappeared below the waves. The 'USS Iowa and New Jersey each fired off two Tomahawk cruise missile over the horizon at the Kirov-class battlecruisers. To counter the rise of the Soviet navy former US president Ronald Reagan started an ambitious plan of a 600 ship navy, wherein the iconic and powerful Iowa class battleships were reactivated and their glorious careers stretched far longer than what they had been designed for. Modernization project for the ship is in planning stages. As the missiles closed in on the Russian warships, alarms sounded on deck. The S-300's maximum range is 90 km.

The AK630 can be fired from a range 4000 meters and has a rate of fire of 5000 rounds per minute, with each round having a muzzle velocity of 900 meters/second. The ships have thus far never seen combat, but with their armament of dozens of anti-ship missiles and over 200 surface-to-air missiles, would doubtless be a formidable opponent. Kirov and Frunze had eight 30 mm (1.2 in) AK-630 close-in weapon systems, which were supplanted with the Kashtan air-defence system on later ships. The same committee, instigated by Jackie Fisher, that produced the Dreadnought had been charged with the design of a new armoured cruiser. I was unable to find much information on these weapons, but it is likely that their range and muzzle velocity is less than even the 5-inch guns on the Iowa. Frunze, the second vessel in the class, was commissioned in 1984. The American navy had nuclear powered cruisers in service for some time. The Iowa's main battery consists of nine 16-inch Mark 7 naval guns in three triple turrets. It is still in active service but a large maintenance and upgrade program is scheduled to begin in 2020. Kirov suffered a reactor accident in 1990 while serving in the Mediterranean Sea. The Kirov class's main weapons are 20 P-700 Granit (SS-N-19 Shipwreck) missiles mounted in deck, designed to engage large surface targets. For the purpose of this match, the guns will fire 2700 pound armor piercing shells. Air defense is provided by twelve octuple S-300F launchers with 96 missiles and a pair of Osa-MA batteries with 20 missiles each. The Kirov-class Battlecruiser is a large Soviet (later Russian) guided missile cruiser about the size of a World War I-battleship. Displacing between 23,000 to 25,000 tons and recognized as the largest warship of the late 20th century the Kirov was the eldest among five siblings to accompany the first Soviet carrier battle groups. The official designation of the ship-type is "heavy nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser", but because of their size and general appearance, the ships are sometimes referred to as battlecruisers in western media. Russia continues upgrading its Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruisers. The Iowa-class battleships were designed in the late 1930s and the first was commissioned in 1943. Iowa-class Battleship: Kirov-class Battlecruiser: 1980s, North Pacific Ocean, an alternate universe where the Cold War "turned hot" Two Iowa-class battleships, the USS Iowa and USS New Jersey, new refitted with missile armaments sailed through the middle of the Pacific.
