119's Wiki Deleted My Last Vote Edges

Battleships: The HMS Iron Duke has a larger main gun, thicker armor, and is slightly faster, outclassing the Mariya in almost every way. Add to that the fact that the Mariya sunk due to a presumably accidental explosion in 1916, suggest the Russian ship may have more design flaws. Edge: Jellicoe

Cruiser 1: The HMS Duke of Edinburgh has a larger main battery of 9.2 inch guns, which, according to Wikipedia have a longer range than the Russian 6-inch pieces, allowing it to hit from longer ranges, and also has a battery of six-inch guns to boot. The Merkuriya has thicker deck armor, but it is a protected cruiser, meaning it has only deck armor and no belt, while the Duke is an armored cruiser, meaning it has an armored belt as well as deck armor. Yes, the Merkuriya does have heavier deck armor, the rest of the ship is unprotected, and with its 9.2-inch guns, the Duke of Edinburgh would be able to punch through the deck armor at long ranges with plunging fire. Edge: Jellicoe

Cruisers 2: The Calliope was known to be vulnerable boiler fires, a major design flaw potentially reducing speed. The two ships are similar in terms of guns, and the armor is unknown, but presumably similar. Edge: Kolchak

Destroyers: The two vessels are roughly comparable, save for one important statistic: torpedoes. The Russian destroyers carry far more torpedoes, meaning they could launch a much larger spread, which can severely damage even a battleship.
