I'll give the Rooskies credit for having good-looking warships ... very, what's the word? rakish ... got those low, long main deck "through lines." Lotsa guns and missiles showing ... ( maybe not many reloads below deck, however. )
I'm sure the designers claim that the ships look that way for purely functional reasons ... not really the truth. There's a video of that aircracft carrier in heavy seas. Doesn't look like it has enough freeboard.
