Lots of warheads.

P.S. obligatory "Your mom's plug has arrived"

Obligatory, no flaired base, so don't use it.

It's not the size of the sub, it's what is in it that makes the difference.

Nukes? Drone fleet? Missiles? Tea and Biscuit?

At least it did on dry land. Russians tend to do it while submerged.

At least they aren't as flammable as their aircraft carriers.

A rare appearance for Barrow in r/damnthatsinteresting. I grew up there and was stuck in traffic plenty of times while these submarine sections were being transported.

Wow. That is almost the displacement of the original Dreadnought.

The first dreadnought was from 1553 so I do not think it displaced that much water

Barrow in Furness.

Obliteration by Russian warheads would improve it.
