Vostok class Aircraft Carrier
After their debut in 1936, the 5 Vostok class aircraft carriers were made the pride of the Rossiyan Navy but they still need upgrades so in 1942, all five carriers, Vostok, Miev, Rusefin, Karsk and Nubacica were sent to the shipyards for upgrades, which basically an electronics upgrade with new radio and radar systems. They were also given the "bow art" that the ships built in the 1940s were given

In 1944, these carriers except for RFS Rusefin which sunk in the Battle of Midway underwent minor upgrades, mainly replacing of the air search radar.

The Dukh class submarines were not modernized as they were already quite good at their job and the Rossiyan Navy was busy constructing new warships and modernizing other ships

Morskoye class battleship
This behemoth of the seas was second class battleships, the Rossiyans built during the Second World War. This class named after Grand Admiral Hans von Morskoye, commander in chief of the Rossiyan Navy when Rossiya first declared its independence. It was a massive battleship class which was armed with 12x16 inch guns which were capable or reaching out to 36 km. This class of battleships were also bristling with secondary armaments which were 20x5 inch guns, 10x100mm anti-air guns, 52x40mm anti-air cannons, 108x25mm anti-air cannons. They were adequately armoured with 16 inches of belt armour at it's thickest and its deck armour was 9.5 inches thick. It had fourteen heavy duty diesel turbine engines created 180,000 shp or 134 MW. This class of battleship has a top speed of 30 knots. It had a range of 17000 nm at 15 knots. It had a massive crew of about 2650 sailors. There were 15 of these "Monster of the Sea" by the end of 1942. Rossiya or to precise Rossiyan sailors also started the bow art trend with this class of ships, with the first on the RFS Morskoye.
This is RFS Morskoye in 1942 as she was commissioned, her sisters built exactly the same

Later in 1944, they received better electronics and radars and this is what they look like after the modernization
