If the upper carrier is (as stated in the description) USS Constellation (CVA-64), the other carriers are USS Oriskany (CVA-34), right, and USS Saratoga (CVA-60), bottom, circa in January 1973.

Soviet designation Project 1135 Burevestnik (storm petrel), Zadornyy (Passionate) at anchor, 1 June 1988
Gremyashchii off the Puerto Rican coast, May 9, 1970
The Kanin class were a class of destroyers of the Soviet Navy during the Cold War. The Soviet designation was Project 57A Gnevny (not to be confused with the World War II era Project 7). These ships were the first Soviet guided missile destroyers and were initially designated Project 57bis (or 57b) and known to NATO as the Krupny class. Their primary mission was anti-surface warfare using the SS-N-1 anti-ship missile
Gremyashchiy (Thundering) was 1st of class, decommissioning in 1988

This Presentation On America's Secret MiG Squadron By The Man Who Built It Is Incredible
How the top-secret unit came to be is so outlandish that it sounds like fiction, but as this first-hand account details, it was anything but.

Denmark:
The Willemoes**-class missile boat** was a Royal Danish Navy class of fast missile boats serving from late 1970s until 2000. Designed by Orlogsværftet, in conjunction with the German yard Lürssen, the Willemoes class could achieve a maximum speed in excess of 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph). Their weapons consisted of one 76 mm (3 in) OTO Melara gun and combination of RGM-84 Harpoon missiles and torpedo tubes. When the full assortment of eight Harpoons was carried, two 553 mm (22 in) torpedo tubes were carried as well. With Harpoons removed, up to four torpedo tubes could be mounted.
