| Additional information |
The Marat — originally launched as the Petropavlovsk in 1911 — was hit by a 1,000 kg bomb dropped by Hans-Ulrich Rudel during the Siege of Leningrad in September 1941, blowing off her bow and killing over 300 crew. The Soviets kept her partially afloat as a fixed gun battery for the remainder of the siege rather than scuttle her. Kliment Voroshilov, paired here, was the People's Commissar of Defence whose catastrophic mismanagement of the Winter War against Finland led Stalin to strip him of operational command in 1940.
