Someone needs to create a site that details every warship in history!
Being former artillery, I’d love to see railguns brought mainstream.
However, we have certain morons in our own government who see tech advances by us as a “provocation”!
Heck, I am fairly certain some have even said as much on record somewhere.
But there have been tantalizing advances in that tech recently.
Sevastopol also got the ugly stick treatment.

Vacation?
Or did he forget berthing for the Admiral’s dog?
..and summarily was out on loan?
The center guns would be useless if the enemy was directly in front or behind the vessel.
lolz
Release the infinity turtle!
There’s a deficiency in perspective in terms of world views. I’m not an adequate debater. I wish I could entice them to read FR. Unfortunate state of affairs. Are you a person who doesn’t need sleep? I need to nod off. It’s been a pleasure. SYL.
Infinity Turtle of DOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooommmmmmm!
I usually start sleeping when the sun comes up. I actually do well with 4 or 5 hours, even though I am usually cranky.
That is a mouthful
"Board the ship....!!"
"You first sir"
Sleep well SG! :)
“Comrades! We will repel the adversaries of the Rodina with our stunning good looks!”
*flash picture of a bunch of prep dreadnoughts*
Don’t worry! We got THAT covered!
That is what happens when you wooden clad the interior using excessively long nails.
Sleep well.

“Vice Admiral Roskov, sir”
“Yes Rear Admiral?”
“Sir, I have been informed by my Junior Admiral that all of our ships are still in port!”
“Still in port? The enemy is on the horizon! Why are our ships still in port! Have you contacted the Port Admiral?”
“Yes sir. The Port Admiral informs me that we have no crews, sir.”
“No crews?”
“Yes sir”
“Then who are all these people?”
“That is the Lieutenant Admiral Gorshov, over there is Right Admiral Petrovsky, and there is High Admiral Kursk, sir”
“Are you telling me that we only have Admirals?”
“Yes sir”
“But who cooked this food?”
“That was Chief Steward...”
“Right then...”
“... Kitchen Admiral Grumsky, sir”
“What a mess, I suppose we’ll just have to watch our fleet get sunk at dockside, tell Admiral Grumsky to prepare popcorn, Rear Admiral”
“Yes sir”
good night
