This is crossposted from SDN, I know we don't have a HAB...yet



Okey, so theres this navel parade thingy on Sunday, but 3 ships arrive early.

What does your loyal HAB grunt do? Steal the camera and take pictures.

Thanks in advance for helping me identify these ships.

The collection

Dingy little shit transfarring men

The medium size ship, dosn't look like anything I know, now I've allways meant to ask, what are those tubes on the side? The ship isn't carrying anything that size in missles.

Rear shot of what I belive is a cruiser, who's name in english is apprently Untamed or something similer

Help recognize those missles

Rear shot of what looks like a destroyer

Closeup of unknown missles

Now to explain the lack of artillary, theres a big pretty artillary,engineer and signal corps museam in St. Petersburg, but the only free day I had to vist it was coincidently the last thursday of the month, when its closed.

So what does the loyal HAB grunt do? SNEAK IN!
I'm serious, went to the employee's entrance and just stared. Of course, camera wasn't there, but there were lots of peices, some SP peices, mine clearing tanks, a few missle launchers, something that looks like a katyusha launcher on a tank.

Then it was on to the Aurora, which coincidently was closed on the 28th of July for maintanence, the ship is pretty, very nice guns, looks like something me and Shep sink in online games of SH3.
Now is the time to mention the great problem in Russia: The summer rains, now for some people its normal, for some who live in places where it only rains in the winter this was a great annoyance.


Oh, and I went to alot of palaces, pictures of those when I upload.

Now the weird part, when I first saw these ships, my first words were

"Oh my Shep"

And after taking the piccies I said the thread title.

After seeing some of that crappy paintwork on the ship, I feel a bit better about some of my botched paintwork on my U-Boat model.
