Loving your Rival (UaM Mk. 2)

USS Kentucky was the last Iowa-Class Battleship to have its keel put down, it was sold for scrap in 1960 having had its bow chopped off and given to its older sister Wisconsin. She would then be scrapped later that year.

In 1980, the Kirov is commissioned with the Soviet Navy. A proud symbol of Soviet Engineering and the first of 4 new Nuclear Powered Cruisers. The Soviets were proud of her but after a nasty accident with her reactors, the Russians didn't take care of her due to money reasons and scrapped her in 2021....well, that's how it all played out in our universe.

How do these 2 bitter rivals from completely different eras meet? Much less fall in love? Well, stick around to find out.
