Here is an image of Kirov Hull 4, also known as Pyotr Veliky. Note the TOMB STONE radar installation in place of the forward TOP DOME (used for SA-N-6/S-300F Fort guidance). This is because TOMB STONE is used to guide the SA-N-20 GARGOYLE (sea-based variant of the S-300PMU-1, also known as the S-300FM Rif). The new system uses the 150 km ranged 48N6 missile as opposed to a variant of the 5V55 used in the S-300F. Enjoy!
Image is from Jane’s Fighting Ships 2001 if anyone is curious.
