By deploying a navy flotilla in the southern Caribbean , including the warship Peter the Great, Russia gets to assert itself as a power that can make itself felt anywhere in the world, even in America's back yard. The deployment of the Peter the Great led flotilla is also seen as a response to a planned deployment of anti missile defense systems in Eastern Europe.Venezuela,
The official line is that the joint maneuvers, which include the Peter the Great, one of Russia's most powerful warships, is simply a good will exercise between two friendly countries.

They had the same main armament, machinery and side protection as the earlier ships, but had increased fuel capacity for greater range, an all welded hull, improved underwater protection, increased anti aircraft artillery and radar. The Admiral Nakhimov had an anti-ship missile launcher installed in place of A and B turrets as a trial in 1957 and was used as a target ship in 1961. The Dzerzhinsky had a SAM launcher for the SA-2 missile, replacing the aft turrets in 1960-62.
