USS Thomas (DD-182) - As Dostoyny

As Dostoyny

On 16 July 1944, the British transferred St Albans to the Soviet Navy, who renamed her Dostoyny (rus. Достойный, "Worthy"). She sailed under the "hammer and sickle" until returned to the British on 28 February 1949 at Rosyth, Scotland. This veteran of service with four different navies — those of the United States, Britain, Norway, and the Soviet Union — was eventually broken up for scrap at Charlestown, England, in April 1949.
