Thank you for the video, Wolf! My father used to serve at Sverdlov cruiser as a doctor in 60s. I still remember when he showed me his old photos where the sailors are celebrating day of Neptune, crossing the equator. Other crewmembers dressed as seadevils caught my dad and put him into the barrel with salt water from ocean, lol. It was hard to explain to kid like me wtf is happening at these photos)

That sort of thing isn’t unique to the Soviet navy; it’s called “shellbacking” in most English speaking maritime traditions for crossing the equator. Said ceremonies vary as to the actual content, but generally involve some shenanigans where King Neptune brings the uninitiated into his “kingdom” with the help of sailors who already had crossed.

Fun bit of trivia. Based on the hull numbers seen here, the Gearings on display are the USS Henderson (sold to Pakistan in October 1980) and the USS Vogelgesang (sold to Mexico in February 1982). The Knox is the USS Hepburn (sunk as target practice in June 2002).

Owing to the retrofit of the WW2 design the Soviets decided on older CIWS guns but added more of them to compensate for the range issues. Ever see the expanse? It’s the Leonidas class idea. A higher number of less sophisticated guns which compensates for inferior targeting and range through increased volume of fire
