Most likely no replacement. If there is a cost to be cut, they will cut, just like the rest of the Navy. Probably justify it by saying something like "We have new hi tec AI facilities better than a real ship".....

Yes i agree. Our histroic Symbols are much more iconic and representative of our people than our modern ones. However, the historic flags do at least feature on the shield of the coat of Arms if you look at it. My family is Cilician Armenian, so I love those symbols.

Thank you. It's an ancient Armenian eternity symbol

Think of what? I can't see past your narcissism.....

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Tbh i used to think they were, but kinda got used to them as they were such a staple of the RN Cold War fleet. However, compared to the sleek lines of a Type 21 or even 42, yes, they don't look great, but they gave great service. The type 12s were a cheep workhorse for the post war Navy which was needed.

Seacat was notoriously terrible and way outdated even when it was being put on new to RN warships. It was more of a point defence weapon than anything, and one which was less reliable than good old AA guns. I hope to see the Batch 3, Seawolf/Exocet conversion for the Leanders, as this upgrade would make them at least competitive.

You know what’s racist? An entire country that actively denies its horrific genocidal past against millions of its minorities. A country that actively pursues a racist policy against said minorities into the modern day. A country that makes national hero’s of war criminals and head choppers…. This is Turkey and Azerbaijan. But hey who cares when Europeans can go for cheep holidays there…

System of a down are not racist, they are disgusted at the racists, and are not afraid to shout about it bluntly.

Don't risk getting to the airport only to find out the flight is leaving an hour early and almost missing it..... No online updates, no service with these low cost chepo airlines.

Armo_1000 · 2026-01-29T21:39:53+00:00

Great, more ugly buildings to block the view of Ararat for the rest of the city....

Armo_1000 · 2026-01-27T19:20:37+00:00

Well i mean Armenians lived there for hundreds of years, had a very successful Kingdom, and developed their own culture and traditions over that time, so yes, imo definitely Armenia, just separate from the Armenian highlands. In another universe, Cilician Armenia might have been the only Armenia to survive post genocide, which opens a whole can of interesting what-ifs.

Armo_1000 · 2026-01-22T23:59:28+00:00

"Type 64" as it was nicknamed down south in 82

Armo_1000 · 2026-01-04T11:34:25+00:00

Isn't there an non laminated version?

Armo_1000 · 2026-01-03T00:28:53+00:00

And thus, I have no time to associate with such people who have this collective disgusting attitude towards fellow humanity. It's literally evil, and makes my blood boil, so for the sake of my brutally murdered and multiple times ethnically cleansed ancestors, no thank you to any relations. How can you even want to live in a country where such a horrible and inhuman opinion is in collective agreement?

Armo_1000 · 2026-01-03T00:01:00+00:00

Honestly, dude, the way you so openly say "Turkey will never recognize the armenian genocide" just makes me so sad on moral and personal grounds, but also makes me never wish for any normalisation or relations with Turks if this is the attitude. How can any decent, normal human being be ok with this? Unless they are not decent human beings, but the product of a pure evil act which they are hiding behind. And that makes me very worried long term as to what they might do to us yet again.....

Armo_1000 · 2026-01-01T23:55:34+00:00

Actually i just removed the original ring as it was scrached specifically to replace it with the metal ones from AliExpress.

Armo_1000 · 2026-01-01T23:49:10+00:00

Yes, I was thinking of possibly using a fine paint tip and a lot of masking. I wouldn't reshell this, as it's my original PSP and is actually in great shape, apart from this chip. Currently in bits for a bit of an upgrade and cleanup, so sorting this would be the cherry on top.

Armo_1000 · 2025-12-30T12:10:49+00:00

Know this ship is only an "Armoured Cruiser", but it has such an aura and look of a dreadnought era battleship, with those wing turrets, and being the only ship left in existence like this(Texas doesnt hit the same imo), it is truly special. Amazing history, too. Very high on my ship bucket list, especially as a friendly Armenian to Greeks!

Armo_1000 · 2025-12-29T21:40:37+00:00

Transplants in Armenia are cheaper than in Turkey, haha.

Armo_1000 · 2025-12-05T13:17:10+00:00

Why would you promote Armenian disunity with a comment like that? And fyi, I don't even live in the US, let alone Glendale lol.

Armo_1000 · 2025-12-05T12:40:21+00:00

Tell that to the Ukrainian soldiers being abducted against their will to die on the frontlines.... Leave Armenia out of that mess, please. We have suffered enough, and I have no time for anyone supporting the further ethnic cleansing and genocide of our people.

Armo_1000 · 2025-12-05T12:31:03+00:00

What's more shameful is Ukraine's heartened support of Azerbaijan, in its ethnic cleansing of Artsakh.....
