Aurora's service connects the Russo-Japanese War, revolution, and Leningrad

Aurora survived as a preserved ship after service in the Russo-Japanese War, the October Revolution, and World War II, when her guns defended Leningrad.

Notes

Aurora served in the Russo-Japanese War and took part in the October Revolution. The preserved cruiser connects the Imperial Navy to the Soviet fleet's origins. She was still a training ship during World War II, when her guns were removed for the defence of Leningrad. The ship herself suffered damage and sank in harbour.
