OREANDA-NEWS. The National Interest has published a list of the most powerful ships in the world.  In the first place was the Soviet nuclear-powered cruiser Peter the Great.

  Despite the fact that the ship is 250 meters long, which is 20 percent less than that of the US aircraft carrier, Peter the Great turned out to be more powerful than the American arsenal.

  According to the newspaper, the displacement of the cruiser is more than 24 thousand tons.  Accelerates to 32 knots.  This speed is achieved thanks to steam and nuclear installations.  Together they produce 600 megawatts.  "Peter the Great" is equipped with missiles Granite P-700.  These ships were built in the Soviet Union after World War II.

  Four ships of Project 1144 Orlan got off the Baltic conveyor, and only the mentioned cruiser remained in service.  Due to the impossibility at the moment to build such large warships, Russia intends to restore the "Admiral Nakhimov."  It is planned that he will return to the fleet in 2022.
