Komar missile boats to the 19,200-ton Sverdlov cruisers, no longer in production-are faster and younger than the U.S.'s (an average of about eight years, v. about 18 for American ships...

During the 1971 model year, their share of the market dropped to 5%, and in the past two months it has plummeted to 3.9%.
