A submission for my subreddit, r/CursedWarships (now up to 756 followers!) I made about eight months ago. Original art derived from art published by the U.S. Navy, unfortunately the link is no longer active. The point of the subreddit is making cursed ship designs or bringing to light real or fictional vessels with odd designs or poor performance. Sort of a cousin page to r/CursedTanks.

I played a game called Enigma: Rising Tide as a kid- it was set in an alternate WW2 where the U.K. capitulated in WW1, and was in exile. Thus Germans used a mix of Russian, British (for some reason American too) and their own designs. Including a German Clemson class ( https://enigmarisingtide.fandom.com.....cort_Destroyer ). So I thought what would an alternate Cold War with a OHP frigate rearmed to Soviet standards look like. Here's my take.
