I did a slight research on the Kirovs and this is what I found: Don´t you think they are very beautifull slender ships as was the Bismarck in the 40s? How many of these behemoths are operational?ĥ. An Aegis Destroyer can stand against them or not?Ĥ. Are these things battleworthy? It´s a tendency to believe that so large a military vessel is an awfull easy target (In that case the Aircraft Carriers are the biggest sitting ducks in History). Do the Americans had something similar or the only thing they had were the Iowa Class BB with the Reagan Era modifications? If so I think the Americans commited a blunder putting the Iowas out of comission.ģ. These Kirov Class vessels are real Battlecruisers in the tradition of the WWI BCs or they owe their name to a political stratagem? Aren´t they a superenlarged version of a guided missile frigate or destroyer?Ģ. Lenght: 252 meters (one meter more than BismarcK)ġ. Undoubtly with her specifications it is, nominal, the most powerfull surface ship in the world (excluding the American aircraft carriers), and the biggest too: I´ve been reading about this superb and marvellous vessels, the Kirov Class.
