The dreadnought was the largest ship in the Soviet Navy. Originally armed with cannons, the modern dreadnought was instead equipped with a V4 "Molot" cruise missile array thanks to the design of master shipwright Sergei Kondakov. The dreadnought's three long-range ballistic missile launchers were able to devastate enemies both on land and at sea from afar. Thanks to a shock absorption system based on the MiG fighter's jet propulsion mechanics, the dreadnought's rockets were able to reach their targets accurately even while it was moving.
The dreadnought was not without its weaknesses, however. The ship's rocket launchers were unable to acquire forces that somehow managed to close ranks, and its massive size meant that it was not the swiftest or most maneuverable vessel on the ocean. Due to the high cost of losing such an expensive siege platform, it required Akula sub escorts whenever possible.
Some of the sacrifices made by Kondakov when redesigning the dreadnought, such as reducing the living quarters and removing an auxiliary latrine, earned the dreadnought a few unfortunate nicknames among Soviet sailors. Nevertheless, dreadnought captains were noted for being extremely proud of their service to the Union, and gained a reputation for patriotism and courage. Theses captains have been known to overload their launch mechanisms in order to augment the dreadnought's firing rate, at the cost of electrical and mechanical damage to the launch mechanisms.
