So I will rearrange the guns and the funnel in the centre area. I will also reduce the armour from 15 to 13 inches. I forgot to mention in Rossiya's history that, it gave women the right to join the military or do male dominant work in 1863 and the right to vote in 1865. I will also add that it was ...

A magnificent looking ship, but I think thee is not enough room for the engines. The fore funnel is crowded between the two middle turrets, and the aft funnel between the aft turrets and the middle turrets, don't leave much room for engines. 24 boilers take a lot of space, and if they are coal fire...

Okay, as suggested by JSB, a new class of ship will appear instead of a reconstruction of the Navansha class battleships. Later in 1914, Rossiya observed that the other major navies were building ships with larger cannons. Not wanting to be outgunned, the Rossiyan Navy begins to draw plans for a new...

I don't think dropping 1 turret will get them to fit in the other barbets, just to expensive to be worth it IMO. The only swaps that happened are 3 smaller guns per turret to twins with bigger guns (3x14 to 2x16 or 3x6 to 2x8 etc.) JSB So, should I have extended the ship and added another 14 in tur...
