Footnotes

The Novgorod (Russian: Новгород) was an Imperial Russian warship. She was one of the most unusual warships ever constructed, and still survives in popular naval myth, often described as the "ugliest warship ever built". Together with her near-sister ship Rear Admiral Popov, they were affectionately called "popovkas", after their chief designer Andrei Alexandrovich Popovovich Popov. The hull was circular (viewed from the top) which intended to be a stable platform for guns but proving to be almost un-maneuverable in practice.
