Marshal Zhukov Class Battleship

First laid down in 1975, commissioned in 1982, and built at the Severodvinsk Shipyard in the northeastern part of the Russian SFSR, the Marshal Zhukov Class battleships represented the next generation of Soviet battleship design, developed upon the same hull as the Kirov and Sevastapol Classes of heavy missile battlecruisers. These ships came armed with 6 barrels of 406mm, mounted in two triple turrets in a superimposed A-B configuration fore of the superstructure, as well as four twin SS-N-19 tubes aft for a total of eight SS-N-19 Shipwreck anti-ship missiles, as well as vertical launch SA-N-6 SAM launchers mounted fore of the main guns. Four ships of the type would be commissioned between 1981 and 1988, and would be the last big-gun warships ever built in the Soviet Union or the rest of the world. In 1983, Zhukov herself would be used to test the viability of operating Yak-38 VTOL fighters to give the battleships organic air cover, however, although the trials were successful, it was deemed the sacrifice of helicopters coupled with the payload and fuel sacrifices that would have to be made, it was never operationally deployed in this configuration. The Zhukov Class would spend most of their lives, when not leading Surface Action Groups, escorting the Soviet Union's aircraft carriers, like the Chelyabinsk Class.


Expanding on my alternate history universe, the Soviets are getting a significant amount of love, with the Marshal Zhukov Class, the Chelyabinsk Class, and the Kara II and Kresta III classes. For this one, it's a bit of an odd one, inspired by the ArtStation ship of the same name, the Marshal Zhukov is really the product of the question, "What if I stuck Iowa guns on a Kirov?" and this was the result. Also introduced in this mod is the Soviet counterpart to the Tomahawk, the P-55 Relief, for a total of 16 aboard each Zhukov, and 8 aboard each Kresta III. With that, I'll leave it here, enjoy!
