Don't knock Light Up Atlanta, subby.

Mikhail Prokhorov, Russia's richest man, organized a party on board the Aurora cruiser after the Economic Forum in St. Petersburg

Capitalism. It's a beautiful thing

Party's on!

I hear they're only allowed one party and everyones cabin is the same.

"...where the sun is warm, and so is the...comeradeship."

Would that be Atlanta, Georgia, Subbie?

what the fark is that dog/human thingon the right?

So what? I once attended a kegger at Concord Bridge.

GIS for Russian party girls

The historian in me cringes at the thought of a historic warship being turned into a bar for rich people.

However, those same historical reasons make this very appropriate. Oh Russia, I wish I knew how to quit you.

One of the few good examples of that sort of pre-dreadnought design left in decent shape.Sad to see it get used like that.

Trying to remember what the others were. I think the USS Olympia in Philadelphia is one other (also a cruiser), and the Japanese battleship Mikasa is also well preserved like that.

Anyone know of any other good examples?

in Russia, legendary warship parties on you!!!!

wut?

I found this side ad a little odd

WTF Buffy and Spike and impotence.

/disapproves
//release the red zeppelins!

Anybody seen Battleship Potemkin lately?

/Bombs away!

Zomg, Lenin would scream!

The Party Party?

So in other word, Lenin is finally doing something useful.

Would have gone with Georgia myself, but hey, I'm not the subby.

Hotlanta, you mean.

I'd say this is upsetting, except that I am going to a brew festival on the Battleship NJ next weekend.

That's the mother of all party barges.

When did Pravda become the National Enquirer? Some of those other "articles" made me chuckle but good.

What they didn't tell you is that Cher was on-board making another video.
St. Petersburg is in Florida, and Georgia is a state to the north.
This world is too confusing, let me off!

You just added two to my list (I only knew of the Mikasa), so...

At any rate, some respect would have been in order.

Whoo hoo! This is the kind of endzone dance I expected after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Piss on Lenin and all those cocks.

Crap, really? I need to visit the Olympia. Also, the Mikasa would be cool to add another excuse to see Japan. Yanno, aside from witnessing the insanity unfiltered.

Not sure I'd want to see the Aurora. On one hand, they started that October Revolution mess. On the other, they were marginalized and ignored by the Bolsheviks once their usefulness was gone, so they already got what was coming to them.

Kind of sad they never memorialized the HMS Dreadnought, seeing her would've been a naval history enthusiast's dream.

Greece has the armored cruiser Georgios Averoff (new window). Launched in 1910, so she's not quite a pre-dreadnought.

Oh hey. Never heard of that one. *adds to the list*

I've been on the Olympia, and that was a very interesting experience. If any naval history buffs end up in that corner of the world, its worth a see.

I've always wanted to see the Huascar in Chile as well, though that's a bit earlier than this period of design.

I read that as "warship instrumental", so for a while I was confused as to how one would be scored, how it would be conducted, and how many warships would be needed to play it.

Well, they weren't exactly ignored... Linky

/The Aurora was the most powerful weapon in history - a single blank shot caused 70 years of destruction.

The oldest remaining dreadnought, USS Texas, was launched in 1912 and is now a museum ship.

You gotta love pravda.ru...

just imagine if they had used a real shell!

Oh yeah, there's a few of those. I'm talking about the pre-dreadnoughts though. Not many of those at all.

Been on the USS Texas though, nice museum.

Hope subby means he'd be spinning in his glass coffin. THAT would be worth visiting his mausoleum for.
