Soviet command ship SSV-33
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SSV-33 (NATO reporting name: Kapusta) was a command and control ship operated by the Soviet Navy. SSV-33's hull was derived from that of the nuclear powered Kirov class battlecruisers.[1] In addition to its role as fleet flagship, SSV-33 served in electronic intelligence, missile tracking, space tracking, and communications relay roles. Due to high operating costs, SSV-33 was laid up.[1]
