I was always a sucker for Soviet ships.

Udaloy Class Destroyer (in the foreground)

Kiev Class Carrier

Kara Class Cruiser

It did have its abominations, too, like the Aurora:

And I was never fond of the Moskva Helicopter Carriers, either:

 

[Yui108]

I think some of the Age of discovery barques look really cool.

 

[DarthNader]

I always found the Korean Turtle Ship interesting.

 

[Taras Bulba]

Knock Nevis (aka the Jahre Viking) is a very awesome ship (largest in the world right now)

 

[Jerrymander]

Lol.

 

[Julian Delphiki]

What is that ^ ship used for?

 

[RedRalph]

Jesus the October Revolution is a monstrosity (the ship, not the event). this Swedish stealth ship is no day at the beach either:

The Soviet Ekranoplan is not strictly a ship, but I reckon it's worth a mention.

The world’s largest hydrofoil wasn’t really a hydrofoil at all. In fact, it was one of a series of unique machines called "ground effect" vehicles built by the Soviet Union beginning in the 1960s.

The Soviets had a monopoly on this fascinating technology, relying on a little-known principle of physics - the "ground effect" - in which a dense cushion of air hugging the ground can provide more lift to a vehicle than air at higher altitudes.

Hovering about 3 - 12 feet above the ground, these vehicles resemble Luke Skywalker’s levitating craft from Star Wars, and far more fuel-efficient than airplanes, helicopters, hydrofoil, or cars. And at 58 feet, the largest of these, the "Caspian Sea Monster" was given its distinctive name after CIA analyst saw it at the Caspian port of Baku in photos taken by spy satellites. The craft traveled at speeds of up to 240 mph, had a swiveling nose cone for cargo loading, and could carry up to as many as 150 passengers.

Ralph I have to disagree with you over the Visby stealth ships. Look outstanding to me.

Now the first flat-top carrier HMS Argus was a pig

And her modern namesake isnt much better

The RV Triton I just cant decide on

 

[Pannonius]

I don't like modern ships at all. They just can't compete with sail ships. Those ships had "something".

 

[Loki130]

Personally I always liked the Kuznetsovs (couldn't get picture to work)
Not the Nimitzs though.

 

[joycem10]

What is that ^ ship used for?

Jawas transporting droids around Tatooine?

 

[echinococcus]

I consider the picture to be very nice, but the sub itself (technically rather a boat) is as pretty as slaugthering a pig:

Oh and the Udaloy, i think im in love

 

[really]

The Niamh, the pride of the Irish navy (built to a Royal Navy design in the UK)
