By many accounts she was not a comfortable ship in any kind of a sea

After more than 20 years in storage, the Kirov-class battlecruiser Admiral Nakhimov continues its sea trials. Extensively modernized, it is believed that once commissioned, it will replace the Peter the Great, which will be decommissioned.

She is good looking, you have got to give her that. But the huge 080 somehow looks funny.

HMS Nelson displayed her impressive forward layout of nine 16-inch guns.

At the time of her launch, she boasted the heaviest broadside of any ship in the world, a record the class held until 1941, when it was overtaken by the IJN Yamato.

Moskva Class, Anti-submarine cruiser Leningrad (1967-1991).

ASW and, incidentally, first helicopter-carrier (helicopter-cruiser).

On a side note, just like the USS Long Beach, the Moskva-class was both top heavy and not great at handling rough sea.

In this 1937 photograph, hundreds of crew members fill the deck of the Japanese battleship Nagato, during her peak years. The neatly arranged throngs of sailors offer a glimpse of the sheer number of personnel required to operate one of the most modern battleships of its time. In the background, the multi-tiered bridge structure known as the "pagoda mast" is clearly visible, a distinctive design of the Imperial Japanese Navy, resulting from a massive modernization program undertaken in the 1930s. This structure served as the ship's command, observation, and fire control center.

Nagato holds a special place in global maritime history. Upon commissioning in 1920, she became the first battleship to be armed with 16-inch (41 cm) main guns, making her one of the most powerful battleships in the world at the time. As the lead ship of the Nagato class, she symbolized Japan's naval power before World War II. Her imposing appearance in this photograph reflects an era when giant battleships symbolized national prestige and military might at sea.
