* This map is off the coast of Rumoi in Hokkaido. Historically, this site has been the planned Soviet Invasion of Hokkaido. The plan involved capturing and occupying Rumoi and then heading to Kushiro thereby occupying both Eastern and Western Hokkaido.
* Kirov for most people will appear as out of place as popular and more surface level knowledge will point her being based off in more European Waters. There were 2 more famous WW2 Russian Ships that are often attributed to the Pacific are her sisters Kalinin and Kaganovich. As per what happened in the latter stages of the war, both were not even available for the planned operation. Kalinin and Kaganovich, who were assigned to the Pacific Fleet, had several issues at the time. Both were not combat ready when the Soviets entered the Pacific Theatre in August of 1945. Both were transferred to the Russian Pacific Fleet early on, but they were still not fully completed. Kaganovich for example was fully completed in 1947 and was inactive through 1945. Kalinin was under reconstruction in 1945, which is why she is not even on the roster of ships for inclusion in the invasion of Manchuria (by extension she won’t be considered for the hypothetical Hokkaido Invasion). With all that, Kirov among the others was available as a cruiser gunfire support option if the plans did push through. Note that even during the assault on Manchuria and the Kuriles, the Soviets had to borrow Allied transports and other ships.
