STRONGEST? IN THE ENTIRE WORLD? STRONGEST?

From the Russian Internet outlet TASS and thanks to same.

Battlecruiser Nakhimov ready to go. Took a long time!

"Russian missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov to become world’s strongest warship after upgrade"

"The heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov has been under repairs at the Sevmash Shipyard since 1999; real work on the warship has been carried out since 2013

REPAIRS AND UPGRADE PROCEEDING FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS!

"The upgrade has substantially boosted the cruiser’s strike capabilities. She was relaunched in August 2020 and is expected to start sea trials in about 2022. It's expected to receive 174 VLS tubes: 80 for anti-surface and 94 for anti-air warfare"

VLS = Vertical Launch System. Missiles. A mix of surface to surface and surface to air capability.

"Admiral Nakhimov is slated to carry the P-800 Oniks supersonic anti-ship missile and a naval variant of the S-400 (missile) SAM system"

Battlecruiser substantial armament, fast speed, but reduced armor. That is the normal definition. Seems to be a class of warship as not seen since Jutland. A SINGLE ship of that class now is ready to sail the waves? So it seems.
