  1. I've seen it claimed that she's not actually afloat anymore, and actually is sitting on the mud at the bottom of the Delaware River. Not sure if that's actually true, though.

  2. That was necessary because the original 8"/35 and 5"/50 guns had long since been removed (and presumably cut up for scrap) after their replacement in 1917 with a uniform battery of 5"/51 guns.

  3. A Tier 2 cruiser would probably be the most logical position. Or a Tier 3 cruiser in the 1917 configuration, since that's fairly similar to Bogatyr (fewer guns but significantly faster firing).

  4. Because of the mixed armament, and the fact that the 8" guns are very low velocity compared to every current weapon in World of Warships. Though the 1917 configuration with a uniform armament of 5"/51 guns would be easy enough to balance (would play almost exactly like the Russian Bogatyr).

  5. Because Albany's uniform battery of 6x1 6"/50 guns was much easier to balance than Olympia's mixed battery of 2x2 8"/35 (with very low muzzle velocity) and 10x1 5"/50.
