It also includes Stalin's ambitious postwar proposals for battleships and battlecruisers, the development of the nuclear submarine fleet in the 1960s, and the air-capable ships of the 1970s and 1980s. Each vessel is listed with its project number, Russian name, specifications, building dates and ultimate fate, from the guided-missile battlecruiser Kirov to the smallest intelligence-gathering trawlers.
