It is reported that the hull of the 35,000 ton battleship SOVIETSKI SOYUZ (ex Tretii International), laid down at Leningrad in 1939, was so badly damaged during the war that construction has been greatly retarded. The report that this ship was launched in 1945 should therefore be received with caution. As the material for her construction (with the exception of the main engines, said to have been supplied from Germany early in 1941) has to be furnished from Russian sources, early completion is not to be expected.
