There are only 6 Udaloys and 8 Sovremennys, so at least Russia will finally have some decent ships bigger than Corvettes in the double digits.

6 Udalois and 1 Sovremenny, all others are retired and this last one will be soon as well

Not so much closed as a blast barrier has been installed so that the area behind the launcher can be utilised.  There looks to be some structures on the bulkhead forwards of the wall that might be part of the Uran launcher fixings.

90° is standard setting for that type of launchers
