USS Milwaukee (CL-5) seen here in service with the
Soviet Union as the cruiser Murmansk, returning to US waters for transfer
back to the US Navy. On 20 April 1944 she was decommissioned and transferred
to the Soviet Union as Murmansk, to temporarily satisfy Soviet demands
for a share of the Italian fleet. An Italian cruiser was delivered to
the Soviets after the war, and Murmansk was returned by the Soviets on
16 March 1949. She was immediately stricken, and was sold for scrapping
soon thereafter. |
