Chinese Kirov cruiser :enjoy:

Hmmm ... isn't this comparison a bit off ??

The Kirov as a nuclear powered cruiser had a standard displacement of 24,300 tons and roughly 28,000 tons full load ... that's about twice a Type 055 DDG / destroyer !

Type 055 cruiser has estimate 128 VLS canister, the same missile payload compare to Kirov cruiser. Not even Varyag cruiser come close to Type 055 in terms of fire power. So comparing Kirov vs Type 055 is tactically sound. And even Kirov is nuclear powered but can the food onboard last as long as nuclear reactor w/o replenish unless you expect the crew not to eat or can Kirov ammunition or missile be unlimited? End of the day, it still need replenish once those things ran out.

So Kirov still need an vulnerable replenishment once a few while which makes no different from Type055 cruiser.

This is the type of tug needed when you have a lot of large ships entering service.
