Oh, and the Leningrad:
"Created 60 years after the Moscow, the Leningrad was the RSF's attempt at creating a ship capable of breaking trough ISA jump point blockades. It is roughly the same size as the Moscow, and borrowing much of it's design (including the entire drive section), but that is where the similarities end.
This warship has more powerful frontal shields - the strongest of any RSF ship - and optimized engines with a powerful booster, giving it surprising speed for it's mass. Both are needed, for it's role is to dive into the enemy fleet and unleash devastating broadsides.
The Leningrad is designed like the old pre-battleship dreadnoughts, with focus on as many medium-caliber guns on each side. As a result, most guns can't face forward and the firepower it can bring forward while protected by it's shield is miniscule. This is also it's greatest weakness. In order to deal damage, the Leningrad must expose itself to return fire.
But, the sheer number of energy and ballistic medium weapons it can bring to bear can break trough the strongest shields and hulls, and heavy armor ensures it can stay alive long enough to deliver the hurt. After the loss of the Federation, some medium turrets have been replaced with powerful flak batteries to protect it from enemy bombers."
