Publication: Monitor Volume: 2 Issue: 218
The recently completed nuclear-powered battle cruiser Pyotr Veliky is heading for the Northern Fleet to finish its sea trials, a Russian naval spokesman announced yesterday. The ship has had a stormy history so far. It triggered an international incident when sailing past Latvia in the Baltic, then a Swedish jet fighter crashed while looking the ship over, and finally a steam line ruptured killing 5 sailors and workers.
