The USSR began building the Kuznetsov-Class Carrier in 1985. Like the INS Vikramaditya, the Liaoning was originally a Soviet ship. Two steam powered turbines and two electric turbines give this ship a cruising speed of 22 knots. Additionally, each Wasp-Class ship features a 600 bed hospital with six operating rooms. At 843 feet, a Wasp can carry a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) of 2000 Marines with tanks, light armored vehicles, amphibious assault vehicles, Humvees, light attack planes, helicopters, offensive weaponry, and support supplies. Like other amphibious assault ships, it is designed to land on an enemy beach, deploy ground forces, and provide support as they engage hostile forces. Between 19, eight Wasp-Class Amphibious Assault ships were commissioned and all eight remain in active duty. In terms of number of ships–and the number of largest warships–the United States Navy takes top honors. Wasp-Class Amphibious Assault Ship – Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD) Another, the Admiral Nalhimov, is undergoing renovations and is expected to return to duty in 2018 to take its place among the largest warships in the world. Currently, only one, the Pyotr Velikiy, remains in active service with the Russian Navy. Originally, the Soviet Union commissioned 4 of these heavy nuclear-powered guided missile cruisers. It also carries 3 helicopters and a crew of 710. 76-millimeter armor plating protects the reactor. The largest surface combat ship in the world is equipped with an impressive array of anti-ship missiles, surface to air missiles, super-sonic anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, and fixed guns. Powered by 140,000 horsepower of nuclear marine propulsion and oil-fired steam turbines, it has a top speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots.
This 827-foot-long Russian gunboat is primarily an offensive ship.
