    As soon as I saw where the screws are, I thought "I bet they could do some wacky shit with differential thrust" and indeed they could.
  • Can you imagine the happy Russian Captain, told he has been assigned command of a ship; and seeing this lovely hull for the first time?
  • @joearnold6881
    Oh I assumed these would be more hypotheticals. They actually built the things?! I love it and want one as a pet.
  • @2manyIce
    "No matter if it is a good idea or not, as long as you can actually build it, someone WILL build it." First Law of Engineering proven right again....
  • @Arthion
    The pancake-ship concept sounds interesting. Perhaps not the most practical but the ability to rotate extremely quickly by adjusting the engines sounds pretty useful
  • @bigblue6917
    Brings a whole new meaning to just taking it out for a spin.

    I just found your channel after watching your video on the Russian Second Pacific Squadron (which has to be the funniest documentary I've ever watched). After watching this 2nd video, I think I'm hooked. You are great at conveying concise, detailed information in an efficient manner that is both educational and fun to watch. Keep up the great work.

    It's pleasing to know that these designs, though impractical, were not totally impractical. A worthy attempt to try something new from a Navy not renowned for its history of technical innovation at the time.
  • @Drachinifel
    Pinned post for Q&A :) Edit: Yes for some reason I mixed up Baltic and Black Seas... :(
  • Well at least they were innovative ... thank you for correcting some of the myths about this unusual design.
  • @URL358
    Surprising quality of pronunciation of russian names. I'm impressed.
  • @BrettonFerguson
    When he said it took and hour to turn, I thought, "couldn't you just turn off half the engines and it would spin almost instantly?" A minute later I was confirmed right.

    We need only two things now: a circular aircraft carrier and a Novogrod shipgirl for AL.
