Out of curiosity, I looked it up. The Kommuna was launched in 1915. And no, that’s not a typo. Tsar Nicholas II was in power, and Lenin was just another failed revolutionary hiding in the shadows.

The Kommuna was launched in 1915.

Yep.

Well, if your going to have 8 craft as sitting ducks, might as well use the oldest thing you’ve got. I think they said the ship sank 80 miles from shore. I might be remembering wrong, but distance from shore should indicate how deep it now lies, and how hard to reach. I remember they had a hard time with the Karst sinking. Anyone know how deep that was?
