-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was one of the Kirov-class light cruisers, laid down in 1935 and launched in 1937. Voroshilov joined the Soviet Black Sea Fleet as the fleet flagship in 1940. During World War II, the Voroshilov saw extensive combat action, assisting in attacks on Romanian oil facilities and shelling German forces in the Perekop region. Though damaged multiple times by enemy fire and air attacks, Voroshilov remained in service, earning the Order of the Red Banner for her actions. After the war, Voroshilov underwent several modernisation efforts before being decommissioned in 1973 and eventually scrapped.

Voroshilov posesses a unique blend of heavy cruiser-like firepower and light cruiser-like mobility and survivability. Her nine 180mm main guns pack a potent punch, capable of devastating enemy ships at medium-to-long ranges, though her relatively slow rate of fire means she must make each shot count.  While she lacks thick armour, Voroshilov's large hull can soak up considerable damage. However, she remains vulnerable to high-explosive shells and aerial attacks. Voroshilov's potent anti-air armament, including 13 37mm cannons, makes her an effective escort for friendly ships. Thus Voroshilov offers a unique blend of capabilities, between her good speed and high firepower, allowing her to perform a variety of roles.

+{{Specs-Fleet-Plane}}
 Located amidships is a catapult with one Beriev Be-2 (aka KOR-1) scout plane which provides unique offensive and defensive abilities, expanding tactical options. Ship-launched scout planes fly just like regular tree units but lack munition choices and cockpit views. Alongside the typical abilities of strafing with its two light machine guns, dropping 2 x 50 kg bombs, and capping zones, the KOR-1 and other scout planes have the added ability to lay down smoke cover (up to 3 times). Captains will be wise to remember to utilise the aircraft and consider when best to use it, for example to cap a point early or late in the match, to create a smoke screen to stymie enemy bombardment and repair, to attack enemy units directly, or perhaps something completely new!

 The Voroshilov has 9 x 180 mm/57 (7.1") B-1-P Pattern 1932 naval cannons for her main armament, arranged in triple turrets mounted A-Bs-X. While each shots is very powerful and accurate, the Voroshilov has a fairly low rate of fire at 5 shots per minute. This mean that she have lesser damage output per minute than its contemporaries at 5.7 BR.
-The Voroshilov has an access to a powerful HE shell by default with 12 kg of TNT equivalent and good fragmentation penetration of 65 mm, which is enough to disable the turrets of most enemy ships at range and depleting the crews of some of less-protected ships. She can unlock an APCBC round with very high penetration but much lower explosive mass and a SAPCBC round with lesser penetration but with almost the same explosive mass as the HE shell (just below 11 kg of TNT equivalent). Since every shells has the same muzzle velocity of 920 m/s, it is easy to leading targets and cycles between each shells.
