Kirov class cruisers
The largest Soviet warships completed until after World War II, four of the ships fought in the war while the other two were still building in the Far East. Two were trapped by the Germans during the Siege of Leningrad while the other two transported troops and supplies during the Sieges of Odessa and Sevastopol. Only a couple ships were fully modernized in the 1950s while the others were relegated to roles as training and missile test ships before being scrapped.

While there are plenty of photos on Commons, the vast majority lack proper sourcing so their licenses are suspect. The only two real copyright-free images are a Soviet stamp (at ) and this photo of a model of the ship. Neither is ideal, but its probably worth discussing which is better.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:11, 25 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. But are they the Kirov-class cruisers or the Kirov class cruisers? I see both spellings on this page and in the lead article. Ucucha 19:53, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

 * The stamp image seems to have lower EV; the current one seems better. Nergaal (talk) 03:58, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
