The Soviet Kirov-class nuclear-powered battlecruisers redefined naval dominance. As the largest surface warships constructed since World War II, they combined nuclear propulsion with overwhelming firepower. Armed with P-700 Granit anti-ship missiles and an extensive arsenal of weapons, the Kirov-class was a commanding presence in any conflict. Its advanced sensors and combat systems made it an unparalleled command ship, while nuclear propulsion provided virtually unlimited range. The mere presence of a Kirov-class ship could alter the strategic balance of power.
