Russia Commissioned the Nuclear Battlecruiser Admiral Nakhimov in 1986 and Sent Her to the Yard at Severodvinsk in 1999. She Came Out in 2025. She Has Now Spent Roughly Twice as Long Being Repaired as She Ever Spent in Service, at a Cost of About $5,000,000,000.
The old Kirov-class carried 20 P-700 Granit missiles. The rebuilt Admiral Nakhimov carries up to 80 in new vertical launch cells, compatible with the P-800 Oniks, the Kalibr, and the 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missile, alongside 96 long-range surface-to-air rounds and Pantsir-M close-in defense.
