September 8, 200917 yr Well, I was confident that Jane's Fighting Ships of WWII would show me the way but alas Brad's trivia wins again. I can hardly wait to hear the right answer. My lackluster broad guess is a ship of the Kirov class cruisers.
September 8, 200917 yr A hard day of work today, but some forces remain in me ... Mmmm, russian ship, evident (double aft telemeters), mmm, aft funnel lost ? Very strange place .... A little memory of a russian cruiser sunk on her way to scrapping, and a bit of Wikipedia, the fast response for lazy brains: Murmansk (Мурманск) - named after the city of Murmansk - built by Severodvinsk - laid down 1953, launched 24 April 1955, completed 22 September 1955, Decommissioned late 1980's. She ran aground in December 1994 at Hasvik, Norway On her way to India for scrapping. And after, another bit of Google, Murmansk Hasvik, and ... http://www.hasvik.com/the-russian-warship-...9926-37872.html http://www.hasvik.kommune.no/vraket-murman...1685-37059.html More deteriorated in the photo posted in the forum, I see.
