Kirov 
Soviet Tier V Premium Light Cruiser 1938

One of the first large warships designed and built in the U.S.S.R. (Project 26). Despite her small displacement, she was equipped with very powerful long-range main guns and had a good speed. In contrast to the majority of her contemporaries, she had weak armor.

Kirov Commemorative Flag The first cruiser designed and built in the USSR received her name in honour of the famous Soviet political leader, Sergei Kirov (1886–1934).
