The Russian Nuclear-powered missile cruiser, named Pyotr Velikiymay (or 'Peter the Great in English), may be decommissioned and removed from the Russian Naval fleet despite previous plans to repair it, Russian media outlet TASS reported on Thursday.

According to the media report, which has not been confirmed, an unnamed naval source claimed that the cruiser was too costly to repair and maintain compared to the Russian battle cruiser Admiral Nakhimov.

"Currently, the issue of withdrawing Pyotr Velikiy from the Navy is being worked out," the source said. "It seems that the experience of repairing and modernizing the Admiral Nakhimov of the same type has shown that this is very costly."
