Soviet battleship Sovietskaya Ukraina
- Soviet battleship Sovietskaya Ukraina
Sovietskaya Ukraina (Russian: "Советская Украина", English: "Soviet Ukraine") was a sclass|Sovietsky Soyuz|battleship laid down in 1938 in Mykolaiv ("Nikolaev") at the Black Sea.
When German troops captured Nikolaev on August 18, 1941, the ship was completed up to the main deck. It was only slightly damaged by the retreating Soviet troops. As all of the ships plans were missing, it was not planned to continue the construction of the ship, instead some of the armor and secondary artillery was used for the fortification of Sevastopol. In 1943, the construction was continued with a low priority and when the Germans were forced out of Nikolaev in March 1944, they destroyed the incomplete ship with explosives.
