Great!  I always thought an IOWA class battleship would look great with an icebreaking hull- has the horsepower!

Defo looking good ! Who doesn't like ice breakers !?

I don't think that the Royal Navy had got any.

Yes we do

In these ideas I am mating Airfix 1/600 Moskva and Heller 1/400 Lenin. So a kind of scaleorama.

As what I like the most in Moskva is funnel, resulting projects must be powered by conventional means.

1. Civil icebreaker powered by steam turbine
2. Militar icebreaker equipped with anti-aircraf weapons
3. Militar icebreaker equipped with anti-aircraf and anti-submarine weapons

There are probably errors in armament ... never mind! My aim is aesthetics and coolness

Gas turbine propulsion using Kuznetsov NK-12 based marine engines driving ducted propulsors, and Zvezda M503 42-cylinder radial diesels driving retractable Voith Schneider cycloidal propellers for maneuverability.

How about an icebreaking Kirov battlecruiser?
