Excerpt from a naval website:  “The Petr Velikiy (Peter the Great) was undoubtedly the oldest Russian battleship in service in 1914, the babochka (“Grandma”) of the Russian navy. This battleship knew several lives. It was in its day the very first Russian battleship with turrets and steam alone, a fashion launched by France and Great Britain and quickly followed by the tsar for the Baltic fleet.”  As for this Soviet-era postcard, it is captioned on both sides entirely in Russian and was mailed in 2024 with two stamps and two postmarks.  Grade: 1
