    Not a military buff by any measure but I wonder if it's the Battleship Potemkin maybe?

    Show

    It's significant in Russian/Soviet history:

      Looks more like Aurora to me (Potemkin has a lifeboat that would be sticking out, and if you zoom in you can see circle things, which look the front facing tubes on the Aurora, but has no equivalent on the Potemkin). That's the cruiser that fired the shot that signaled the Assault of the Winter Palace.

        It says a lot that my initial reaction was "How can you tell the difference??" lol

        I think I'm gonna defer to your judgement on this one.
