Russia has brought the nuclear-powered cruiser Admiral Nakhimov , which has not been used in the fleet for almost 30 years , into the final stage of sea trials . The 28,000-ton Admiral Nakhimov left Severodvinsk in late May. After modernization, the Admiral Nakhimov should become one of the most armed surface ships in the Russian fleet. The exact configuration of the armament remains unknown, but the cruiser will potentially have one of the largest missile armaments among modern surface combatants.
