Soviet commander-in-chief Gorshkov replaced by Kuznetsov according to the Australia Station Intelligence Summary dated 1 May 1956

An item reported that the 54 years old Soviet commander-in-chief admiral of the Fleet Nikolay G. Kuznetsov was replaced by his deputy admiral Sergey G. Gorshkov. In the last to months Kuznetov was just one time publically seen, namely when the Royal Navy visited Leningrad [St. Petersburg] in October 1955. His health seemed to be very poor. Between 1937-1946 he was commander-in-chief of the navy, demoted in 1947 while dealing information with the Allies and appointed Minister of Navy in 1951. Gorshkov commanded the Danube Flotilla in 1941, next deputy of admiral Oktyabrskiy who commanded the Black Sea Fleet. Early 1949 was this command transferred to Gorshkov and still held by him in 1954.
