Folks on the site were guessing Belgrano at first, but quickly came to
conclusion that it's another vessel..

Dunno - I get the distinct feeling it couldd be a Russian. That gun
director astern looks like something you got on a Sverdlov class...

I'd hazard a guess and say it was the Murmansk at Hasvig in Norway.
Wrecked in 1994 while under tow to the breakers in India.

Hello
Definitevely a soviet one. The gun director abaft is clearly showing its origin.
Probably a Sverdlov class cruiser.
