Background

About the ship

A Soviet "Project A" battleship featuring radically redesigned armament, intended to increase the number of guns per salvo by reducing their caliber. Around the early 1950s, the ship would have likely undergone modernization based on the experience of the previous war. The battleship could have hypothetically been transferred to the People's Republic of China in 1954 or 1955.
