peter the great is nearing 25 years old hardley new, and the guy cant even spell the dam name petr viliky. |
Peter the Great is 25 years old? It was the last of the Kirovs, and even if the Soviet Union did not collapse, I don't see how it could have been operational before around 1990.
IIRC I've seen the
Pyotr Velikiy spelling used in English, and supposedly there is no universal Russian-Engish transliteration mapping.

Why is the Thresher the "worst ever sub disaster" in your book? The Oscar was several times as large, carried at least as many people, and both sank and everyone aboard died.
