Either SNIFF...or take a peek! Their reputation for having a "poor" powerplant seems well deserved! :lol: OTOH, this class does not have a LOCK on smoking a trail in the Soviet Fleet..... ;) DFO

She sure is, but ALL the other pics I have of her and sisters: never any smoke from the boilers. Looks about like one of our old gun cruisers, which were apparently known for this!
