The delivery of Kirov-class nuclear powered cruiser (project 11442M) Admiral Nakhimov to the Russian Navy won't be possible until 2023, a defense industry source told TASS. The vessel, which is being upgraded by Sevmash Shipyard, was supposed to be handed over in late 2022.

The Project 11442M heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov will be taken out of the dock in 2020, CEO of the Sevmash Shipyard Mikhail Budnichenko told TASS.
