Editing Kirov-class cruiser (section)

===Machinery===
The ships had a twin-shaft-unit machinery layout with alternating boiler rooms and engine rooms. The machinery for ''Kirov'' was shipped from Italy (being diverted from the contract for the {{ship|Italian cruiser|Eugenio di Savoia||6}}). The machinery for the rest was built in [[Kharkiv]] to Italian plans. The Soviet ''TB-7'' geared turbines proved to be more powerful and more economical than the originals. ''Kirov'' burned {{convert|.8|kg|abbr=on}} of [[fuel oil]] per unit of horsepower compared to ''Kalinin''{{'}}s {{convert|.623|kg|abbr=on}}. Furthermore ''Kirov'' produced only {{convert|113500|shp|kW|lk=on}} on trials while ''Voroshilov'' made {{convert|122500|shp|kW|abbr=on}} and was almost a full knot faster. Six license-built Yarrow-Normand type [[water-tube boiler]]s powered the turbines with a nominal capacity of 106-tonnes/hour of [[superheated steam]] at a pressure of {{convert|25|kg/cm2|kPa psi|0|abbr=on|lk=on}} and a temperature of {{convert|325|°C|°F}}. Each shaft drove a three-bladed {{convert|4.7|m|adj=on}} bronze propeller for a designed speed of {{convert|36|knots}}, although this varied from ship to ship. The normal oil capacity was between {{convert|600|and|650|t|LT|0}}, but the ships varied widely in the amount of oil carried at full load; this ranged from {{convert|1150|to|1660|t|LT|0}}. Endurance figures also varied widely at full load, from {{convert|2140|to|4220|nmi}} at {{convert|18|knots}}. The maximum amount of fuel that could be carried ranged from {{convert|1430|to|1750|t|LT|0}}.<ref name=y0>Yakubov and Worth, p. 90</ref>
