Soyuz Nerushimy-class, Russian Battleship laid down 1935
These are first Russian battleships laid down in seventeen years. Their gun layout has been criticized for limited firing arc of midships main battery turret. However, having all turrets on centerline with none superfiring permit adequate speed and armor, and unmatched weight of fire.

Upon completion of sea trial, these ships will serve in reconstituted First Battle Squadron, assigned to Russian Northern fleet.

- Twin 130mm high-angle semiautomatic mounts simmed as triple mounts
- OOC Note: I noticed that I had simmed one of the 420mm turrets with 25mm turret face armor and no barbette. To correct this, I had to shed about 5,000 tons of fuel at full load and make her a bit smaller by reducing her BC.
