The problem will be likely similar to the Ohio SSGN in that it will be expensive to fill the mounts and they may not be able too until the munitions get cheaper to build.

Brute may looks powerful, but it's still the knife holder in his neck do the talking.

Should be just as much about power projection as it is about capability, but generally i agree with you.

What's interesting is that it's not so much a trend of moving a way from large ships. China's building aircraft carriers, the Russians are upgrading the Kirovs, and there are US companies floating the idea of arsenal ships. The trend is moving more towards multi-mission capabilities. As expensive as military hardware is today, it just doesn't make financial sense to have a one-trick pony. The Russians have been moving this way for a while; look at their smaller surface combatants or the Severodvinsk-class, or even the newer Sukhoi models.

Also, looking forward to playing the Zircon vs. LRASM scenarios!

It's only with the more recent small combatants and corvettes that the Russians have begun moving to the flexible VLS systems. That being said, they're really making up for lost time. A multimission VLS Kirov is a hell of a weapons platform, and those small combatants have proven their worth already.

Status: offline 		Here's an article about these refits:

http://sputniknews.com/military/20110921/167012600.html

This article is from 2011 and the expected completion date for the Nakhimov at the time was 2015. I would estimate that the chances of the Nakhimov ever entering service again are 50/50. The chances of a second Kirov ever being refitted are near zero.

That being said, for purposes of this forum it's still fun to play what if in Command!

There's a lot of uncertainty about this weapon capabilities, what attributes did you give it?
