A few weeks ago, Wargaming teased the players with a list of upcoming German Battleships. During this match, which was recorded last month, I spotted the SMS König Albert (I presume) near the start of the match off my port side. I tried to zoom in on the vessel to get a closer look. The German BB can be seen again near the end of the video as we are capping the point. ---- I, myself, am sailing the Aurora, one of the three Pallada class protected cruisers built for the Imperial Russian Navy in 1900. The ship survived the defeating Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War and served in the Baltic Sea during World War I. Most notably, she was used as a symbol for the assault of the Winter Palace in Petrograd (AKA Saint Petersburg). Aurora fired a shot which kicked off the 1917 October Revolution where the Bolsheviks removed the Provisional Government. That government had only been in place less than a year, following the removal of the Romanovs, the former Russian royal family. Because of this, she is seen as an icon for the beginning of the Soviet Union and the ships likeness was used to create the Order of the October Revolution service award. Because of her age, World War 2 saw the ship mostly as a training vessel, however her guns were removed from the ship and used to defend Leningrad, the Soviet rename for Saint Petersburg. Today the ship is a museum ship in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It's featured in the game World of Warships as a Tier III Premium Cruiser. The ship has guns on all sides, giving it the ability to fire at almost any angle as well as delivering massive broadside shots.
