Grozny

Groznyy was the lead ship of the Soviet Navy's Project 58 Groznyy-class guided missile cruisers, also known as the Kynda class. The ship was designed to counter the aircraft carriers of the United States Navy and was therefore fitted with eight launchers for 4K44 anti-ship missiles. Launched in 1961, the warship initially joined the Northern Fleet before being transferred to the Black Sea Fleet the following year. The ship was also used for diplomatic purposes. Between 1967 and 1976, Groznyy undertook seventeen visits to foreign ports, one of the highest in the fleet, traveling as far as Cuba. The ship also tracked United States Navy aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean Sea. After twenty years in service, the vessel was struck in 1991 and subsequently broken up.
