Summary

[edit]
Description
English: HMS St Albans intercepts, escorts (and photographs) Russian Missile Cruiser The Marshall Ustinov through the Channel.

Aerial photograph taken from a Royal Navy Merlin Mk2 Helicopter of Russian cruiser Marshal Ustinov (Russian: Маршал Устинов) Marshal Ustinov is a Slava-class cruiser laid down in 1978, launched in April 1982 and commissioned in 1986.

The Russian name for the ship type is Gvardeysky Raketnyy Kreyser (GRKR), meaning "Guards Missile Cruiser". She is named after Dmitriy Ustinov, a former Soviet Minister of Defence. 

the Slava Class is smaller and less expensive than other ships, which demonstrate similar capabilities. The design integrates the P-500 Bazalt missile, which is a conventional alternative to the missiles installed in the Kirov Class battle cruiser.

A crane is installed on the ship for handling boats, while anti-ship missiles fitted on either side of the superstructure provides it with a typical appearance.
