Finnish Coastal Defense Ship Väinämöinen
Väinämöinen was a Finnish coastal defence ship, the sister ship of the Finnish Navy’s flagship Ilmarinen and also the first ship of her class. She was built at the Crichton-Vulcan shipyard in Turku and was launched in 1932. Following the end of the Continuation War, Väinämöinen was handed over to the Soviet Union as war reparations and renamed Vyborg. The ship remained in Soviet hands until her scrapping in 1966.
