The Kirov class is a Soviet-designed family of large nuclear-powered guided-missile cruisers, often described as battlecruisers. The illustration depicts Pyotr Velikiy, a later ship, rather than the original lead ship or an assumed modernised configuration.
Displacement, dimensions, speed, range and crew are omitted rather than mixing load conditions, refits or ship-specific standards. No radar range, acoustic performance or magazine figure is stated.
