The special commission previously decided that the modernization and rehabilitation of the heavy nuclear missile launcher Peter the Great is likely, said Vladimir Meltsev, chairman of the Russian Fleet Support Movement (DPF). He said the ship has a significant level of wear and is unlikely to return to service. But a final decision on his fate has not yet been made. Peter the Great is a heavy nuclear missile launcher of Project 1144 Orlan. It is the largest warship in the world, except for an aircraft carrier. The total displacement is 25,000 tons - as much as two and a half American voyagers Ticonderoga. The non-aviana-carrying Surface Ship-atomic ship does not count heavy icebreakers. Armament - as a squadron: 20 "Granit" anti-ship missiles, 96 "Fort" complex anti-aircraft missiles, 128 "Dagger" missiles and 144 "Kortik" missiles. This is not counting torpedo tubes, missile-like bombers, 130 mm AK-130 artillery launcher and anti-submarine Ka-27 in the mount. One "Orlan" with adequate coverage is able to organize a non-stop zone over a significant area of ​​the water area. Peter the Great joined the Northern Fleet on April 18, 1998 nine years after her launch. From the beginning, the whip served as a flagship. Its purpose is to act as part of attack groups of ships, to provide air and anti-submarine defense of the complex, as well as to threaten large enemy surface forces, mainly aircraft carrier groups. The crew received a baptism of fire not in a naval battle, but in a rescue operation. In August 2000, the flagship led the search for the missing Kursk nuclear submarine and was the first to discover it using Bonar. After that, "Peter the Great" took over the duties of the crew ship, and regulated the operations of the rescue forces. In the 2000s, "Peter the Great" continued long sea voyages, showing the St. Andrew's flag around the world.
