| Comments: | Currently under construction. The first of class, Yuriy Dolgorukiy, was laid down in 1996. It had to be substantially redesigned in 1999 to accommodate the new Bulava SLBM design. There are currently two vessels under construction, Yuriy Dolgorukiy (scheduled to be launched in 2006) and Aleksandr Nevskiy (laid down in March 2004). The Russian Navy is hoping the Bulava will be ready by the end of 2006. | |
