Nuclear cruiser Admiral Nakhimov is ready and heading out for testing

One of the longest-running projects to modernize the combat surface fleet is entering the home stretch. Today, the cruiser Admiral Nakhimov began its factory sea trials.
Today, the warship will begin to undergo a winding-free demagnetization station at Sevmash. A number of important technological measures will be taken here to increase the cruiser's stealth. After demagnetization, the main program of sea trials will begin. During the events, the parameters and operating modes of the main power plant, steering gear, navigation aids, and other units and elements of the Admiral Nakhimov will be checked.
The cruiser has been undergoing repairs and modernization for almost 15 years, with real work beginning in 2013. According to initial plans, the ship was to be commissioned into the Russian Navy in 2022. Judging by the trials that have begun, Admiral Nakhimov will be commissioned next year.
As a result of the modernization, the ship will significantly increase its striking power, primarily due to the placement of the Zircon ship-based hypersonic missiles on it. The cruiser should also receive the most modern air defense systems and other cutting-edge equipment.
