“It’s about opening your mind and thinking about what you would like to see in your navy”
The problem is my navy and the navies of most developed countries around the world would not spend money on upgrading an old decom. ship when it would be cheaper to build or buy a new ship. Only less developed countries that do not have access to new technology or money to spend on new ships would take old hulls and upgrade them with their systems. I hope you like this idea better than my last.
If Russia did gift their two decom. Moskva Class Helicopter Cruisers to North Korea I think North Korea would use one of the hulks for spares and the other hulk would be updated to this standard.
Amphibious Fire Support / Assault Ship.
*Displacement: 19,000 + tons
*Weapons: Two twin 170mm Koksan cannon mounts in the “A” and “B” position, Two 48-cell 240mm multiple rocket launch systems in the “C” Position, Four M-1990 4-barrel 30mm gatling gun mountings on each corner of the super structure, & Four M-1983 4-barrel 14.5mm AA heavy machine gun mountings.
*Aviation: Ten Mi-17 assault helicopters
This upgraded ship would be re-named Mount Paekdu after the birth place of Dear Leader Kim Jong-II. This ship would be tasked with amphibious Fire Support & helicopter assault. In time of war she would leave her base at Namp’o on the Yellow sea with her task force of transport, fire support, and assault craft. The invasion force would head south and land troops on South Korean territory. Mount Paekdu would provide shore bombardment with her multiple 170mm mounts and multiple rocket systems. She would also deploy her ten armed and fully equipped Mi-17s. These helicopters would deploy 300 of North Korea’s best Marines and then provide air support with unguided rockets and heavy machine guns.

Of course they were bad sea boats! Look who built them!
