I really love the look and design of Predreadnought protected and armoured cruisers. I think the best example is definitely Aurora. Not only is she still with us, but she was a fine example of the type. She deserved better than she got. The voyage of the damned, then Tsushima, then a scared flight back home. And THEN a freaking revolution sparks on her decks and spreads to an entire country! At least they didn't scrap her. I hope whoever is responsible for her upkeep shows her some love.

I don’t know a whole lot about ships or naval history but this is peak aesthetic in my opinion.
