Trivia

Her abyssal form is assumed to be the Non-Treaty Cruiser Water Princess.

General Information
  • Named after the Sergei Kirov.
  • She was launched on the 30th of November 1936.
  • Scrap on the 22th of February 1974.
Update History
Misc
  • Survived World War II.
  • The most probable reason that she was used in the "What if" Hokkaido Defense Operation in the KanColle Spring 2025 Event is based on the fact that her sisters Kalinin and Kaganovich, who were assigned to the Pacific Fleet, had issues. Her sisters Kalinin and Kaganovich were not exactly complete or combat ready during the time when the Soviets entered the Pacific Theatre in August of 1945. Yes both were transferred to the Russian Pacific Fleet early on but they were still not fully completed. Kaganovich for example was fully completed in 1947 and was inactive through 1945. Kalinin was under reconstruction in 1945 which is why she isn’t even on the roster of ships for inclusion in the invasion of Manchuria (by extension she won’t be considered for the hypothetical Hokkaido Invasion). With all that, Kirov among the others was available as a cruiser gunfire support option if the plans did push through.
  • Kriov's Italian look by her character design is by Jiji is a reference to the historical basis for her design. The Kirov-class were made with the support and consultation from the famous Italian group "Gio. Ansaldo & C." which gave them technical information from Montecuccoli-class and Duca d'Aosta-class. This then became the basis for Kirov's design and if you are familiar with your Regia Marina you will notice the striking similarities between the Kirov-class with the Italian Cruiser designs both in the main hull structure and in the internal machinery. (Ansaldo is famous for their engineering work and designing many Italian military weaponry throughtout the decades including the Littorio-class, Aquila, Montecuccoli-class, etc.)
