Description

Soon after the Mighty Kirov class Guided Missile Nuclear Battlecruisers commissioned the Soviet Designers started working on an improved version of these ships featuring it's heavy Anti shipping armament but on a smaller hull but retaining it's nuclear propulsion.
Because of the Kirov's size they were costly to build so the new ship was to be similar in capability but the cost be at least 20% smaller.
The ship would be similar to the Kirov featuring it's massive funnel superstructure and bridge, but with a different weapon layout and above deck hanger and more VLS for AA Missiles. The design finalized in 1988 and named Project 1293 (Note that Kirov was 1144.2) but the Collapse of the Soviet Union prevented the construction of any of these ships.
