Dreadnought HolidayI've been in a dreadful writing slump for a few months now, but finally cracked and just wrote something to try and get it out of my system. Amazed this story isn't better known...
Greg Hills@DreadShips I think that the Kronshtadt* (image below taken from your article) is a *fine*-looking ship. They don't make 'em like that any more. Rip out the boilers and install modern electric engines, plate the funnels in solar cells, convert the side gun turrets into dive platforms and the front guns into a sheltered sun deck, and you have an ideal and picturesque retirement yacht for roaming the seas. 🚢
* Or Imperator Aleksandr III? **
** Indeed.

And it would still look better than 90% of the current herd of cruise ships.
