Think you're good?

You good enough to name all three of the ships in the link below correctly?

It takes three correct names to win, and the visual clues as to their identity are all there.

Before clicking, bear in mind that Russian servers can be, uhh.. slow, and that you should have compression turned off or be able to refresh the page at full quality after loading, depending on your browser.
In other words, be patient.

It's a line of three Russian battleships, two are easy to identify, one is not so easy.
Copy and paste the link below, and do something else for a few minutes, it takes time.

Works for me.

Does their homepage work for you?

Yes, I think its a no remote acess screen. Copying and pasting your first link seems to have worked (but the picture takes so fucking long to load as you said).

It's not a 404 page. It's a "click the link in the middle of the screen" page.

Have a very nice day.

The funny letters confused my ignorant American mind, and I panicked and closed the window. All apologies.

This is obviously the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria.

Geez, Frank, I thought you had a challenge for me.

Oh well, this was a bust.

They are Navarin, followed by Imperator Aleksandr II and General-Admiral Apraxine as part of the gunnery training establishment on manouvers in the Baltic.

Navarin and Aleksandr II were extremely unique in appearance, there's no mistaking them for anything else; Apraxine's solid bulkheads beneath the bridge are the only clear indicators that distuingish her at this angle compared to Admiral Senyavin. Admiral Ushakov had shorter funnels.
