Bombed and sunk on Dec. 18, 1944 at Gotenhafen (Gdynia), Poland. The ship sank in shallow
water on an even keel but was damaged by a fire two days later and abandoned. The wreck
was blown up on Mar. 21, 1945, but raised by the Soviets in 1946 and possibly renamed
Borodino. She was scuttled for use as a target off Odsmussar Island in the Baltic Sea. It is
possible that the wreck is still there.
