Kresta II Class Cruiser
The Kresta II Class, Soviet Designation Project 1134A, Berkut A (Golden Eagle) were Soviet guided missile cruisers of the Cold War. The ships entered service in the late 1960s and were rapidly decommissioned after the end of the Cold War
These ships were an Anti-Submarine derivative of the Kresta I class cruiser. These ships had a new anti-submarine missile (SS-N-14), new Surface to Air Missiles (SA-N-3) and advanced sonar. All ships were built by Zhdanov yard, Leningrad.
Famous quotes containing the word class:
“I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
