Kirov Class Nuclear powered Battlecruiser RFS Admiral Nakhimov pictured in Sevmash Shipyard at Severodvinsk, undergoing modernization in 2018.She was originally commissioned into service with the Soviet Navy in the 1980s, known back then as Kalinin (Калинин), a name she kept until 1992. Admiral Nakhimov is currently undergoing a refit to receive new and improved weaponry and is scheduled to re-enter service with the Russian Navy by 2021.

That is the same yard/basin that the x-BAKU was converted into India's carrier VIKRAMADITYA. The yard and enclosed building sheds were for 2 of Stalin's SOV. SOYUZ class battleships.
No recent pictures have emerged of the NAKIMOV's rebuild/modernization though. Attached are some pics from the past several years. It is a open question, per open western sources, as to what she is being rebuilt to take for her new weapon and electronics fit... Completion in-maybe-next 2 to 3 years??? DFO

Nothing was to good for supreme leaderski stalin! Except none of the 4 monster battleships got completed. If any would have been finished, they would have only been second in size to YAMATO despite only having 9-16" guns. DFO
