Watch the BBC propaganda piece and you'll feel better about the whole thing.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Russia has once more decided to proceed with the long delayed refurbishment and upgrade of its nuclear-powered Kirov class battlecruiser the 28,000 ton Admiral Nakhimov.

This is probably more about finding work for shipyard workers and having prestige for Russia, than a real need of the fleet.

I was just being a smart-arse. The text in the video says "Battle of Trafalga" when it's Trafalgar;D

Pretty damned impressive broadsides, though.
