Line 46:
* The ''50 Let Pobedy'' and the other ships of the nuclear-powered Russian ''Arktika'' class icebreaker are the red kings of the Arctic Ocean.
** Hey hey hey. If you're looking for red kings, I got some red-hulled badasses for you. USCGC ''Polar Sea'' and ''Polar Star'' are a bit older than the ''50 Let'', falling apart with age, but they can break just as much ice. Or could, y'know, if they weren't falling apart.
* The research vessel ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130725034047/http://www.jamstec.go.jp/chikyu/eng/CHIKYU/tour.html Chikyu Hakken]'' - a Japanese geological research vessel that can drill ''6000-metre-deep holes in the ocean floor''.
* The new British Type 45 ''Daring''-class destroyers, with the radar cross-section of a fishing trawler. Even if it doesn't have all the weapons it can carry fitted. [["Join the Army," They Said|Began appearing in the recruitment ads even before the first one was commissioned]].
* The Russian nuclear-powered "''Kirov''" class [https://web.archive.org/web/20010823152817/http://www.aeronautics.ru/archive/fleet/russian/1144.htm heavy cruisers]. 20 anti-shipping missiles, four different kinds of surface-to-air missiles (up to 476 rounds can be carried, 340 ready to fire at any one time), 10 torpedo tubes, [[Gatling Good|CIWS systems]] and a rapid-firing 130mm twin cannon. Bigger than some light aircraft carriers. A living example of [[More Dakka]]. She also has a SIGINT profile compared a Disney-style Christmas Tree with all candles blazing and all mechanical gnomes singing Jingle Bells at maximum volume. In Russian, of course.
