Assembled model 1/700 battleship USSR Navy Kirov Battle Cruiser Trumpeter 05707

Kirov is a Soviet and then Russian Project 1144 nuclear-powered missile cruiser. The ship, which is the first in a series of Project 1144 units, entered service in December 1980. In 1992, the name of the ship was changed to "Admiral Ushakov" in honor of Admiral Fyodor Ushakov, who lived in 1744-1817. Due to the lack of funds for repair and reconstruction, the ship was decommissioned in 2001. On March 27, 1974, the keel was laid at the Baltic Shipyard in Leningrad for the construction of the first ship of project 1144. Launching took place on December 26, 1977, 30 December 1980. The ship was enrolled in the Northern Fleet. The ship was designated by NATO analysts as BALCOM I. In 1990, while in the Mediterranean, the ship suffered a nuclear reactor failure, which resulted in the unit being placed in reserve. In 1992, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the name of the ship was changed to "Admiral Ushakov" for political reasons. In 1999, the ship was repaired. Due to financial reasons, in 2001, it was decided to stop the repair work and finally decommission the plant. In 2003, a decision was made to dismantle the ship. In September 2004, a decision was made to select the Onega Design Bureau for the development of the ship's dismantling and dismantling project. The ship is waiting for disassembly in the port of Severodvinsk. Norway decided to cover the cost of disposal in the amount of 40 million US dollars. An additional $12 million should be spent on adapting the storage for part of the ship's nuclear power plant. Paints and glue are not included.
