Russian Battleship Arkhangelsk

Russian Battleship Arkhangelsk

Arkhangelsk was the Revenge-class battleship HMS Royal Sovereign operated by the Soviet Navy from May 1944 until January 1949. She was lent to the Soviet Union in lieu of war reparations from Italy. Once the Italian battleship Giulio Cesare was transferred to the Soviet Union, Arkhangelsk was returned to the Royal Navy and scrapped.
