Putin Has a Problem: The Russian Navy’s Battlecruisers are Dying
Story by Brent M. Eastwood • Yesterday 1:17 PM

 
Russia’s Fourth Kirov-class Battlecruiser Has Seen Better Days - In a development that shows the Russian navy is in a transition period to rid the fleet of older and larger warships, its most giant naval vessel could be retired.


The massive Kirov-class Pyotr Velikiy battlecruiser could be headed to the scrapyard.

The Pyotr Velikiy (Peter the Great), the fourth ship of the Kirov-class, has seen better days.

 
One would think that Russia would need every ship it can muster to sail the Black Sea and send guided missiles to targets in Ukraine.

Still, the Pyotr Velikiy is difficult and expensive to maintain and will soon be taken out of service, according to the TASS state-run media agency.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It goes down a long way and can only get into very deep water ports. :silly:
