G'day
Some pics of a Russian coal burning cruiser passing Stonehouse inbound to Devonport. Can't remember the name, some 'Admiral', but no doubt someone out there will be able to provide it!! Date somewhere in the region of 1997-2004.

Sovremenny class destroyer (as big as a Second World War cruiser) called BESPOKOINY (translates as "Restless") - name (in Cyrillic script) visible in 5th photo.

Just to help, here is a pic of a COAL BURNER, the S.S. Badger. I doubt the rooshunnzz use coal to fire the boilers or gas turbines of any of their current fleet. DFO :)
