Van Stoom tot Atoom, 1961. Text G.A.J. Bovens-drawings G.J. Frans Naerebout
An item reported that at on the southwest bed of the Marti shipyard, Leningrad [St. Petersburg], Russia was a large hull, completed up to the main deck, sighted dominating the complete shipyard. The hull shape suggested that it was the nuclear propelled ship recently mentioned in the Soviet press.(1) The northwest bed was concealed behind this hull. In the North arm was a red-leaded unfished cruiser lying fitted out with one gun turret and a not completed bridge tower and on which labourers were working. In the south arm in the southwest part of the shipyard was a second cruiser hull visible probably laid up. The inside part of the southwest part was filled up.
