Scope of work on upgrading heavy nuclear missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov is evaluated as 20 bln rub, informs Shipbuilding.Ru.

Heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov is a Project 1144 Orlan nuclear missile cruiser of Russian Northern Fleet; it has being modernized since 1999. It had a name of Kalinin until 1992. Laid down on May 17, 1983 and put afloat on Apr 25, 1986, it was commissioned on Dec 30, 1988. The cruiser was renamed as Admiral Nakhimov on Apr 22, 1992.
