I was reading Norman Polmar’s “Guide to the Soviet Navy” and I noticed the Kirov CGN has a twin SS-N-14 “Silex” missile launcher forward of its SA-N-6 VLS launchers. I searched the net (since I don’t have a scanner) and found this image…

What happened to this launcher? I have a feeling the Kirov in DW isn’t as deadly as it could be.
Also interestingly this launcher seems to be the only SS-N-14 launcher that could be reloaded while underay. :hmm:
