At the end of December 1980, the elder sister of the family, the Kirov, was completed. After the sea trials, she joined the Northern Fleet as the flagship.
At the end of October 1984, the second sister, Frunze, was completed. After the sea trials, she joined the Northern Fleet and replaced her sister as the flagship.
Brother Nan was standing on a busy port. This was Murmansk Port, an ice-free port in the Arctic Circle, the main port area of the Red Navy's Northern Fleet.
The Frunze was parked in the berth beside her. She was slightly shorter than Funa, but her face was more mature. Moreover, she looked more ferocious…
Fulong Zhi, this was a name that every Chinese warship lady was extremely familiar with. Brother Nan inherited all the memories and personality of 055's flagship, so he naturally had complicated feelings for Funa's second sister.
Not long after her second sister served in the military, she immediately took a modern destroyer to escort her and traveled around the world. A year later, they arrived at the East China Sea.
Not to mention the modern level, but a 20,000-ton nuclear giant ship passing through their territorial waters, how could they not send their own ship ladies to monitor it?
Hence, the Republic Fleet sent out their strongest new warship, the Type 051 Destroyer No. 133.
The 133 destroyer that intercepted and monitored was the strongest in the Republic fleet at that time. It was equipped with nine main and auxiliary cannons of different calibers, two triple-mounted Seahawk-2 anti-ship missiles, and a full displacement of 3,600 tons.
In the beginning, 133 followed and monitored from afar, but Frunze and her escort, the Modern Cautiousness, completely ignored them and ran around on their own.
Of course, these two ship girls would not listen to the warning of No. 133. 3,600 tons of crickets, ha!
At that moment, 133 knew that he was far behind in terms of martial arts, so he made a shocking decision. If the other party ignored the warning and continued to run around, he would crash into them!
The destroyer of the Republic Fleet suddenly rushed in front of Frunze and suddenly circled to the right side of Frunze. Even if I just watched, I thought they were going to collide several times, according to the original words of the cameraman, Sano Shibata.
After a few collisions, the distance between the two sides was only 20 meters. This was a super dangerous distance for warships. If they were not careful, a collision could happen.
The 20,000-ton Frunze and the 8,000-ton Cautious finally chose to retreat. They raised their main cannons to the maximum angle to signal that they would pass through without harm, and left according to the route pointed out by 133.
This was a history that every female warship of the Republic had to be familiar with and learn from. She hoped that everyone could charge forward fearlessly in the face of enemies that were ten times stronger than them.
Brother Nan was standing very close to Fulong Zhi. She looked up, and her entire field of vision was occupied by the huge ship.
The Kirovs who had just entered the water were not the nuclear coffins that had been seriously aged and outdated. The four Kirov sisters had brought deep fear to the world. Brother Nan could not imagine what kind of courage their predecessors had to dare to challenge such a giant beast.
……
In 1988, the third sister Kalining was completed and entered service, joining the Pacific Fleet and serving as the flagship.
The next year, Funa also completed the construction of the hull at the dock in the Baltics. She went into the water and waited for the outfitting. Brother Nan's vision turned and he came to Funa's side again.
At this time, Funa had grown up and had become familiar. She was tall and had a young face, but her eyes were filled with confusion, unlike the determination she had later on.
Brother Chennan walked around her twice. Her body was fully recovered, but she didn't have any ship equipment on her. Now, Funa was in the water waiting for her equipment.
The human engineer and a few human admirals came to Funa and took out a document to read.
"Your name is Yuri Andropov, number 803. In a few years, you will join the Northern Fleet, together with your elder sister and second sister.”
Funa nodded. I know."
During the few years of outfitting, Funa's sisters would occasionally pass by the shipyard to see her, waving their hands and chatting with her from afar. Although the eldest and second sisters were high-spirited, their eyes were also filled with confusion about the future.
On Christmas Day, 1991, Funa was playing with her red hat as she walked around alone, waiting for her sisters to send her gifts.
But after waiting and waiting, Kirov and Frunze did not come. The two sisters did not come to visit as they did in previous Christmas.
What Funa was waiting for was a group of human admirals. They had changed out of their red navy uniforms and were wearing clothes that they did not recognize.
" The Red Navy no longer exists. The great alliance has collapsed. The newly established Russian Navy is short of funds, so your elder sister and second sister have to retire and be sealed. As for how you're going to deal with it…"
"We're not sure yet. Let's pause the construction for now.”
Brother Chennan shook his head with a sigh. It was really uncomfortable to witness history in person. As a part of history, when Funa heard this news, it was like a bolt from the blue. She sat on the ground paralyzed.
Yuri Andropov had already built 80% of it and was only a little bit away from being put into service.
However, Funa didn't have the chance to wait until then, and she would never have the chance to fight alongside her sisters.
Big Sister and Second Sister said that it was sealed, but Mao Sealing was just throwing it in a random place and letting the hull slowly corrode. There was no chance to re-open it and return to the fleet. It was no different from being scrapped.
Fortunately, the fourth ship, Funa, wasn't dealt with hastily like her sisters. Instead, she received the best care.
Construction resumed in 1992. Even though the funds were extremely scarce, the construction of Funa was not delayed. All the resources were poured into her.
Four years later, at the 300th anniversary celebration of the Russian Navy, Funa flew the Andrea flag and joined the Northern Fleet to serve. She took over the will of her two sisters and became the flagship.
Her name had been changed because the Alliance had collapsed, and her previous name could no longer be used.
In the name of the founder of the Russian Navy, Funa was now Peter the Great, with the number 099, which meant the final, final nuclear cruiser.
Each of the four ships was different. Because the design and construction time spanned 30 years, each Kirov used the best equipment at that time during the construction process.
Although the four Kirovs looked similar, there were still many differences in displacement and weapon systems.
The first ship, the Kirov, had the strongest anti-submarine capability, while the remaining three ships appropriately weakened anti-submarine and strengthened air defense capabilities.
Peter the Great, who was born in the Red Sea and served in the Russian Navy, had the most powerful comprehensive combat power in the family because it was the latest to be installed with the latest radar system and weapons.
Although it was developed in the name of anti-submarine, when it was actually created, it had already become a professional player who was proficient in all kinds of martial arts.
Peter the Great, the newest and strongest, naturally received the best treatment. She was the only Kirov who could still move. Occasionally, she could go out for some missions.
The missions that Funa received were all patrols or small exercises. As a nucle-powered super beast, she could only do some trivial work and occasionally make her presence known.
Every time she saw her three sisters, she would feel extremely heartbroken and helpless. Her eldest sister and second sister were already seriously rusted, and her third sister was lying on the berth waiting for modification. However, because of the lack of funds, she had been lying there for more than ten years, and her stomach was cut open every day…
After experiencing countless setbacks, Funa gradually understood what Teacher Avril had said.
Her mission had changed. She didn't need to rush to the aircraft carrier battle group alone, nor did she need to fight a hundred enemies alone.
He wanted to become a lighthouse in the dark night and lead the remaining sisters through this winter.
Happy times were always short-lived. The glory of the Kirov family dimmed along with the Red Star. After the Red Navy disappeared, the Kirov who once toured the four seas gradually lost their former prestige.
At first, Funa was able to get some supplies, but later on, her finances became even more tight. Her sisters dismantled and repaired whatever they needed. Even she herself was out of date, and it was time for a major renovation.
Third Sister originally planned to complete the repairs in 2015, but because she had been lying on the berth for too long, there was no longer any maintenance value, so she was directly retired and dismantled.
It was the same for Big Sister and Second Sister. There was not a single spot on the hull that was not rusted. The cost of repairing it was even greater than building a new one. It was estimated that it would be dismantled in a few years.
In 2018, Funa took off her fleet flag and let a Glorious class cruiser continue to serve as the flagship of the Northern Fleet. She entered the berth and underwent a five-year modification.
Unfortunately, the original plan of five years ended up in ten years.
Fortunately, one day in 2028, Funa returned to the familiar port and rejoined the battle order. She continued to serve as the flagship and protect the last dignity of the fighting people.
The three sisters had already left, and the only aircraft carrier, Sister Ku, had also left. Funa was the only nuclear cruiser in the Russian Navy and even in the world. She also maintained the record of being the strongest below the aircraft carrier.
On the cold surface of the sea, Funa's eyes were firm. She had thrown away her confusion and lack of confidence. She didn't know what her future would be like, whether she would be dismantled or turned into a museum, but she would protect everything she wanted to protect in her last moments.
The only remaining ship in the family, Peter the Great, was still proudly resisting the erosion of time.
