View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By 4xGM300m: https://i.imgur.com/QqCYqGG.jpg British Revenge class battleship HMS Royal Sovereign now renamed Arkhangelsk during a lease transfer to the Soviet Union at Scapa Flow naval base in May 1944, escorted arctic convoys until the end of the war and later returned in 1949 and scrapped the same year due to poor condition. Arkhangelsk ran aground in the White Sea in late 1947; the extent of damage, if any, is unknown.[61] The Soviet Navy returned the ship to the Royal Navy on 4 February 1949 after the former Italian battleship Giulio Cesare was transferred to the Soviet Black Sea Fleet.[59] The Soviet Navy had initially sought to avoid sending the ship back, claiming that she was not sufficiently seaworthy to make the voyage back to Britain. After an inspection by a Royal Navy officer, however, the Soviet Navy agreed to return the vessel in January 1949. Upon returning to the Rosyth naval base, Royal Navy personnel thoroughly inspected the ship and found much of her equipment to be unserviceable. It appeared to the inspectors that the main battery turrets had not been rotated while the ship was in Soviet service, and were jammed on the centreline. As a result of her poor condition, she was sold for scrap.[62] The ship arrived at Thos. W. Ward's scrapyard at Inverkeithing, Scotland, on 18 May to be broken up.[61] The elevation mechanisms from her main battery gun turrets were later reused in the 250-foot (76 m) Mark I radio telescope at Jodrell Bank, Cheshire built in 1955 1957.[63] Some sources claim that large parts of the ship were covered in feces. |

But yeah, considering the rest of the shit we have seen about how they live in the field, I wouldn't be surprised if they were sleeping AND shitting in holes in the floor. |

View Quote It's always been sad to me that the Russians, who have generated some incredible engineering talent, have wasted away all of it on the pursuit of a corrupt political system and ideology for generations. We all would have been much better off if communism had never happened. Imagine Russia, Ukraine and others as part of the greater European diaspora for the better part of the 20th century, untainted by idiotic communism infecting the world. Imagine all the lives not lost under communism. Imagine Nazism never even existing, as it was largely a response to communist infiltration into German society, and wasn't even initially about the evil Joos. Imagine the Korean War or Vietnam never happening. Imagine China not as a totalitarian communist regime. What if all the great minds of the world had been working together towards the pursuit of the advancement of humanity rather than the pursuit of a boot on one's neck. Communism has hampered human development and cooperation for over a century. |
