TWO PROBABLE MM GUN POSITIONS WITH BARBETTES INSTALLED
FORWARD OF THE SUPERSTRUCTURE.
2. (S/D) REMARKS: THE GUN POSITIONS, SIMILAR TO THE 10011M GUNS
FOUND ON THE UDALOY GUIDED MISSILE DESTROYER ',DDG), EXTEND
FORWARD FROM THE SUPERSTRUCTURE AND PRECLUDE TIHE INSTALLATION
OF THE AFT STARBOARD SS-N-12 MISSILE TUBES AND BLAST DEFLECTOR
FOUND ON THE FIRST THREE KIEV CVHG'S. HOWEVER, THE TRAP=DOOR
RADAR POSITION ON THE BOW INDICATES THAT THE SS-N-12 MISSILE
SYSTEM WILL PROBABLY BE INSTALLED, ALTHOUGH THE LOCATION AND/OR
NUMBER WILL DIFFER FROM PREVIOUS KIEVS. THE ANGLED DECK
SECTIONS REMAIN IN THE PLATEN AREA ALONGSIDE THE SHIP.
