Thanks to BJ Clinton all U.S. Navy nuclear cruisers were ordered decommissioned because of defense budget cuts after the 1991 Gulf War during the early 1990s.

Putin must be expecting the price of oil to go up.

Great stuff, always found the Kirov class fascinating and gorgeous ships.
Trust the Russians to have a kitty as ship's mascot.

LOL, now that’s funny! Wait until Olive Oyl gets here (aka poster ‘ETL’), she’ll be wringing her hands, screaming murder most foul about ‘Popeye’ Putin, and wailing “ohhhhh Popeye!!!”

This is what we need, a. Capable surface ship which can operate independently. Cruisers were designed for this type of forward projection or “gun boat diplomacy” if you will. Needs guns though.

Needs guns though.Why do you need guns when missiles reach out so much further? You aren't going to bring a gun to a missile fight, are you?
To: Tonytitan
Guns are good for pirates and other small craft.

It looks like an urban housing project stacked onto the the deck of a ship.

Launchers in the bow section, guns are mounted towards the stern.
The Russkies always did thing differently with their ship designs, but they sure build them pretty.

Precision shore bombardment and close work. One automatic 8” turret would be ample
