Kommuna ? 1921 ?

close enough to get the bloodhound award of the week

I had her build date as 1918 and name as 'Kommyha'

Cobra

[Sardaukar]

Well..with cyrillic letters it'd indeed look like KOMMYHA..but since Y=U and H=N...[8D]

[DuckofTindalos]

That's truly obscure, Cobra. Nice one...

Looks like a Japanese plane on the catapult in this one.

That's because it's the Japanese vessel Tsugaru...

[DuckofTindalos]

Man, Babelfish is funny... The block of text under the Tsugaru has a reference to how she and the Okinoshima were sunk by US submarines. The quote is "both are heated by US submarines"...[:D]

The more I looked on that site, the more I realized their are ships of different nations!..There are subs from several, a few American, etc.
Very nice American WWI Destroyer, in color..

[DuckofTindalos]

Yup, the vessel at the very bottom of the page the Tsugaru is on is the USS Terror...
