核動力導彈巡洋艦,這意味著“納希莫夫海軍上將號",的大修和現代化升級工作即將完成，沉睡了20幾年的核子動力重巡洋艦,終於起死回生,重新返回到俄羅斯海軍服役,根據情報顯出俄羅斯國防部與海軍建議,在2021年時期正式接受“納希莫夫海軍上將號",

核子動力重型巡洋艦,極為可能佈署於俄羅斯太平洋遠東艦隊,以對抗美國海軍服役的福特級超級航空母艦戰鬥群,由此觀之2021年起太平洋海域將會熱鬧非凡,中國,美國及俄羅斯海軍3強,競爭於太平洋.

由於蘇聯解體,許多海軍艦艇相繼報廢拆卸,唯有核子動力重型巡洋艦.等重大武器被保留封存,以待他日另有所用,俄羅斯政府財源短缺,國防部經費嚴重不足,導致於俄羅斯至今無法建造新的航空母艦與美國對抗.

目前全世界僅有俄羅斯海軍,擁有核子動力重巡洋艦,可以說是獨霸全球海軍,是美國核動力航空母艦的剋星,有航母殺手的封號與尊稱,傳聞中國海軍有意仿造俄羅斯海軍的核子動力重巡洋艦2.5萬噸左右.CNPNC2025.China navy 081EN.

修建中的俄羅斯北德文斯克北方造船廠的俄羅斯海軍核動力導彈巡洋艦,由於經費短缺,俄羅斯海軍只有將老舊的軍艦大修,升級,改造再利用,這樣一來新3年,舊3年,修修補補又3年,這是美國嘲笑俄羅斯海軍的貧困,2021年俄羅斯海軍“納希莫夫海軍上將號.即將重返海軍服役,對於美國海軍而言必須小心防範,尤其是航空母艦,因為俄羅斯的巡洋艦成本10億美元左右,相較為美國的核子動力航空母艦平均造價50億美元起跳,這樣一來不對等的戰略效應,顯然是俄羅斯海軍佔上風,因為俄羅斯海軍核動力導彈巡洋艦只藥發射.各式各樣的反艦導向飛彈,即可將美國航空母艦擊沉摧毀.

Russian battlecruiser Admiral Nakhimov..

Admiral Nakhimov (Russian: Адмирал Нахимов) is the third battlecruiser of the Russian Navys Kirov class. The ship was originally commissioned into service with the Soviet Navy in the 1980s, known back then as Kalinin (Калинин), a name the ship kept until 1992. Admiral Nakhimov is currently undergoing a refit to receive new and improved weaponry and is scheduled to re-enter service with the Russian Navy by 2021.

The Admiral Nakhimov has been in the repair dock of the Sevmash Shipyard since 1999. Actual work on the cruiser’s repair and heavy upgrade began in 2013. After the repair and upgrade are over, the warship will get Kalibr-NK and Oniks cruise missiles and eventually Tsirkon hypersonic weapons.

基洛夫級飛彈巡洋艦（英語：Kirov class battlecruiser，：Крейсера проекта 1144 «Орлан»「海鷹」），是俄羅斯乃至全世界僅次於航空母艦的最大型的水面作戰軍艦，也是目前全球唯一排水量超過兩萬噸及使用核子動力的現役巡洋艦。艦上裝載超過500枚飛彈，因此有「武庫艦」的稱號。

  Russia’s Giant Battle Cruiser Will Return.

The Russia Navy’s most powerful warship, the battle cruiser Admiral Nakhimov, may be about to be relaunched. It is part of a massive modernization which will see it armed with new weapons. The nuclear-powered ship is almost as large as the famous Iowa Class battleships of the U.S. Navy, but it is considerably more modern in armament and thinking. With the latest weapons and sensors it will arguably be the most powerful.

Battle Cruiser’ is not a category of warship that is used very often, not since World War II. Like battleships, modern warships just do not stack up to these titles, except for the Project 1144.2 Kirov Class nuclear cruisers, of which Admiral Nakhimov is one. These were built toward the end of the Cold War to specifications which dwarf any other surface combatant then or now. 

They are armed with an incredible array of weapons. Their main ‘carrier killer’ armament was 20 giant P-700 Granite supersonic missiles. Against air threats they carried 96 S-300 long-range missiles and 40 9K33 Osa short-range missiles. Then there were no less than six Kashtan close-in weapons systems (CIWS). Each has two 30mm Gatling guns and eight 9M311 short-range missiles, plus 24 reloads for a total of 192 missiles. 

 Because of the size and complexity these vessels are incredibly expensive to crew and maintain. Of the four built out of five planned, only two are still in service. The other one, Peter the Great (’Pyotr Velikiy’), is with the Russian Navy’s arctic-based Northern Fleet. That ship is newer and already equipped with comparatively modern systems.

The Admiral Nakhimov was due for modernization. Although the Kirov Class battle cruisers are impressive warships, much of their original technology is antiquated today. The modernization should bring her back up to date.

According to Russian state media RIA Novosti, she will be armed with the 3M22 Zircron hypersonic anti-ship missile. This is an ultra-modern weapon which is becoming a priority system for the resurgent Russian Navy. President Putin emphasizes this weapon, most recently during his Navy Day speech in St. Petersburg. Zircon is much smaller than the original P-700 Granite missiles so possibly more will be carried. Also carried by the Oscar-II class submarine, three Zircon could be carried for each Granite, so a total of 60 missiles. 

It is unknown whether the Kalibr land-attack cruise missile or Oniks dual-purpose anti-ship and land attack missile will be carried. But given that they are sometimes loaded interchangeably with Zircon this is a distinct possibility. These would give Admiral Nakhimov a greater land-attack capability than her sister-ship Peter the Great.

RIA Novosti also says that the main air defense complex will be upgraded to the Fort-M system, which is a more advanced version of the S-300. That system is still about 30 years old and doesn’t compare to the latest S-350 or S-400 systems. But those have not been fitted to ships so it might be a question of development cost. Either way, Fort-M is a reputable system.

Other upgrades include more modern close in air defenses and anti-submarine armament. I expect that her massive twin 130mm main gun might be replaced with the newer single-barrel AK-192 gun.

There are indications that the mighty warship might be launched very soon. Russian media reported (in Russian) that the basin where the ship is being worked on is slowly being flooded and I had been observing this through open sources. Recent satellite imagery shows that she is still a construction site though. So she may need several years alongside in Severodvinsk after launch before the modernization is complete.

 The Project 11442M (NATO reporting name: Kirov-class) Admiral Nakhimov nuclear-powered heavy guided missile cruiser will be equipped with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles during her upgrade, a source in shipbuilding industry told TASS on Tuesday. "The Admiral Nakhimov’s strike system will be replaced with Tsirkon hypersonic missiles as part of her repair and heavy upgrade," the source said.

俄羅斯海軍“納希莫夫海軍上將號",是“基洛夫”級核動力巡洋艦的3號艦，該艦於1983年5月開工建造，1986年4月建成下水，1988年12月交付蘇聯海軍使用（當時的艦名是“加里寧”號）。蘇聯解體之後，該艦被俄羅斯海軍北方艦隊繼承，並於1992年正式更名為“納希莫夫海軍上將”號。“納希莫夫海軍上將”號在北方艦隊服役不到7年之後就中止部署了，1999年該艦駛入北德文斯克北方造船廠碼頭，然後開始了漫長的等待。

2014年，在經歷了15年的漫長等待之後，“納希莫夫海軍上將”號導彈巡洋艦的大修和現代化改造工作終於正式啟動，該艦被拖入北方造船廠50號造船場前的船臺上進行改造。“納希莫夫海軍上將”號導彈巡洋艦的現代化改裝主要分為雷達和艦載武器兩大方面。

在雷達方面，該艦計畫換裝非常成熟的四面固定陣列X波段有源相控陣雷達和頂板三座標雷達，突出對空探測。在艦載武器方面，該艦將使用3S14通用垂直發射系統取代原先的“花崗岩”反艦導彈發射裝置，總共有80個發射單元，可以發射“口徑”、“俱樂部”、“縞瑪瑙”等型號的對地/反艦導彈。在防空導彈方面，該艦計畫加裝“魯道特”防空導彈垂直發射系統，總共有32個發射單元，原先的96聯裝SA-N-6反艦導彈發射系統將得到保留，也就說該艦將搭載128枚防空導彈和80枚對地/反艦導彈，火力非常強大。

Admiral Lazarev (Russian: Адмирал Лазарев) is the second Kirov-class battlecruiser. Until 1992 she was named Frunze (Russian: Фрунзе) after a Project 68 cruiser (named after Bolshevik leader Mikhail Frunze); at that time she was renamed after Russian admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev. The ship is currently laid up and in reserve status.

In August to November 1985 she sailed from the North via the Cape of Good Hope and the Malacca Strait to join the Soviet Navys Pacific Fleet^] She visited Luanda, Aden, and Vietnam along the way. Holm writes that the ship only conducted local-waters training from 1987-92, and was inactive from 1994.

In 1999 the cruiser was taken out of service and prepared for scrapping as no money was available for its overhaul.^[ In 2004–2005 the cruisers nuclear fuel was unloaded.^] As of 2009 it was reported that the ship was moored near Vladivostok, in conservation status. The Russian Navy planned to modernize the ship and return it to active service, provided that the necessary funds were found.^[ In 2012 it appeared unlikely modernization would occur, as the ship was "considered to be beyond repair... will be scrapped, a source in the military complex says".^] Admiral Lazarev has appeared in aerial imagery from 2006 to 2014 moored in the Abrek Bay mothball fleet, near Fokino, Primorsky Krai.^[] Its berth is around 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the Russian nuclear-powered vessel decommissioning facility at the Chazhma Bay naval yard. In northern summer 2014, Admiral Lazarev was painted at "30 судоремонтного завода" in the Chazhma Bay drydock to extend preservation time in the reserve fleet.^] The latest aerial imagery shows the ship located at 42°5546.0"N 132°2508.0"E in the Bukhta Abrek.^]

In April 2019, Russia decided to scrap and recycle the Admiral Lazarev in 2021.^]
