Among modern warships, they are second in size only to large aircraft carriers, and of similar size to a World War I-era battleship. The ships are often referred to as battlecruisers by Western defence commentators due to their size and general appearance. The Soviet classification of the ship-type is "heavy nuclear-powered guided-missile cruiser" (russian: тяжёлый атомный ракетный крейсер). The appearance of the ''Kirov'' class played a key role in the recommissioning of the s by the United States Navy in the 1980s. The ''Kirov'' class hull design was also used for the Soviet nuclear-powered command and control ship ''SSV-33 Ural''. History Orig ...
