User blog comment:SPARTAN 119/Iowa-class Battleship (1980s refit) vs Kirov-class battlecruiser/@comment-1017446-20111102230515

The Iowa-class battleship gets my vote. The Kirov definitely packs the missile strength but I feel the real damage comes from a ship's guns, which the Iowa class packs. Plus the Iowa has the better chaff system which will be able to deflect the P-700.
