	With the assination of Gorbechov and the renewing Cold War, several classes of older Soviet vessels were brought back into service and updated to more or less modern standards.  The Kanin is one of these.  These vessels recieved the SA-N-7, better RBU, and new guns in an attempt to create a better ASW vessel.  For the main part, this seems to have worked.  Although the hinderance of advanced technology has offset this to some efect.  The Improved Kanin is a dangerous opponent for all but the most modern of submarines.
