Mikhail Kutuzov — U.S.S.R. Premium Tier VIII Cruiser.

The Project 68bis cruiser was laid down in Mykolaiv in 1951. From 1955, she served in the 50th Cruiser Division of the Black Sea Fleet. The first Soviet Ka-15 ship-based helicopter was tested on the ship in the same year. Between 1967 and 1968, the ship performed a combat mission in the Mediterranean Sea during the Arab-Israeli conflict. In 1969, Mikhail Kutuzov became the flagship of the 30th Division of the Black Sea Fleet. In 1987, the cruiser was transferred to the reserve, and between 1999 and 2002, she was converted into a museum ship.
