Russia’s heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Pyotr Veliky
(Kirov class) has been docked for repairs in the Murmansk Region in
north-west Russia, Head of the Northern Fleet’s press service
Captain 1st Rank Vadim Serga said on Monday. The ship will be repaired
at the 82nd shipyard in the settlement of Roslyakovo, he added.
"The repairs of the ship will be completed by the beginning of
a new training year when the Northern Fleet’s flagship is due
to accomplish a set of scheduled combat training tasks in the sea,"
the officer said. The Northern Fleet reported in late August that the
cruiser was planned to undergo repairs. Earlier, the Russian sole aircraft
carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, also based in the North, underwent
scheduled repairs.
