Slava-Class Cruiser

The Soviet Slava class, Project 1164, was developed as a powerful missile-cruiser design with conspicuous angled anti-ship missile launchers. These ships combined an offensive surface-warfare role with air-defense and other fleet functions. They entered service late in the Cold War, and individual vessels later had different national and operational histories. Their prominent paired launchers carried long-range anti-ship missiles, while layered air-defense weapons protected the vessel and surrounding force. Moskva, the former Slava, became the best-known example. Its 2022 loss belongs to that individual ship’s later history rather than the original design purpose of every class member. Their armament emphasized attacks on major surface forces.
