Sounds like it sat unfinished for quite a while.

This one looks pretty good. The Russian Navy, for all of the faults of their government, does tend to design some really good-looking ships. The Kirov class, for example. Nice lines.

Though, nothing, but nothing looks as good on the water as an Iowa class. Bar none.

Absolutely correct on the BB’s.

I've been impressed with their ice breakers. While we were limping along with the old Mackinaw, the Rooskies were turning out big, powerful nuclear-powered, arctic capable ships.
