... and very good for average Joe in terms of describing the role. Albeit, keep in mind that Nakhimov will not sail alone and apart from own very impressive ASW suite, it will have a screen by other ships and likely a sub, it also has such AD elements as navalized Pantsir which proved its capabilities with flying colors against any targets in SMO and in Syria.
The only thing which we will have to wait and see is the fate of Peter the Great. Admiral Sergei Avakyants (former Commander of the Pacific Fleet) sees no point in modernization of Peter the Great (in Russian), but others do. So, for now the fate of Peter the Great is in limbo. A lot will depend, I think, on how Nakhimov will perform at its first line duties. It is a fully netcentric machine (as are all Russia's frigates and corvettes) and its strike package is simply without rivals.
