Hi Frode,
I placed it in the wrecks and relics category as this is definitively a wreck an not a ship at the scrapyard.
If you have any data about that vessel it would be great.

It's an old Sverdlov-class cruiser, commissioned in 1955. I believe she stranded here in 1994, enroute to the breakers.

Brgds,
Ralph

Murmansk stranded near Sørvær on the island of Sørøya in Finnmark, Norway on dec 24th. 1994.
This October work started on removing the wreckage.
In February 2010 a dry dock is built around the wreckage, and the vessel will be scuttled there.
Pictures from the scene can be found her and an article (in Norwegian)
