Would a completed Stalingrad have prolonged the Alaska class?

Would the Alaska class have avoided disposal if Stalingrad had entered service?

Possibly, but the more specific suggestions are missile-cruiser completion or conversion and longer service for existing large ships.

A completed Stalingrad could have influenced decisions about retaining or converting the Alaska class, although that response is uncertain. Hawaii's completion as a missile cruiser is one possibility, followed by the broader possibility of missile conversions for the class. The comparison gives Stalingrad a speed of 35.5 knots against Alaska's 33 knots, with both designs carrying nine 12-inch guns. Keeping such ships active for longer might also have kept the Iowas in service longer. That alternative history could have reduced the chance of those battleships surviving to the present by consuming more of their service lives.
