Ushakov
Tier XI · Battleship · U.S.S.R. · Super ship
Rating D (Bottom tier within its tier and class · overall score 12) · Balanced battleship
Balanced battleship, suited to AA escort. It is weak against cruisers (AP deals a same-tier cruiser's HP in about 4 min on paper). Its 457mm guns carry a 300% citadel multiplier, so a salvo that citadels can deal up to 62,721. Wide dispersion makes it a high-variance gun, though. With 4 Damage Control charges it shrugs off fire and flooding combos. Unique skill: 'Immediate Main Battery Recalibration' gives main battery range +15%, main battery accuracy +43% for 15 s after landing 22 main battery hits.

In 1945, the Navy's General Staff issued the order to develop a battleship under Project 24, which included 15 draft designs within its framework for review. The largest of them was a project with a suggested displacement of 110,000 tons, similar in architecture to the Project 82 heavy cruisers. Plans were made to construct the ship by 1955, but they never came to fruition. If she had ended up being embodied in metal, the ship could have become the largest and most powerful battleship in history.
