The Ural: Her fate in T2K

[Targan]

The Soviet communications ship SSV-33 was unique, and its electronics were pretty much the Soviet Union's state-of-the-art at the end of the 1980s. I admit I haven't gone through all the Soviet naval OOBs that have been posted here and there on these forums to see what others have done with her. I can't help but imagine what a treasure trove the ship would be if it didn't end up on the bottom of some deep part of the Pacific Ocean.

Interesting ship, nice find Targan.
Given the problems with the size the ship, for T2k, it might very well have been stuck in port much as it was in real life. With its electronics suite it may very well have been able to detect incoming threats and vector other forces to intercept them.
So I'm basically saying, it might just have survived relatively intact in some remote Soviet naval base.

by the way speaking of post apocalyptic scenarios she was the ship that was used in World War Z as a communication ship to relay info on how to fight zombies and how to survive - its the chapter where they mention the last broadcast from Buenos Aires was a spanish lullaby

well there was a war so good money it got out of port to do its job. But it most likely sailed far enough to find a quiet cove where it sat out and did its job hoping no one would find it and sink it. Its most likely sitting, at anchor in some port or cove rusting away.

would be an interesting adventure - to find her and get at her still working electronics equipment - either in a bid to salvage the ship and get her underway for the US (or France for instance if you are playing French characters or the UK for UK ones) or just to get the equipment - and her crew was pretty sizeable -so could be quite a force defending her whereever she ended up

A ship like that would be a prime target. Rusting away, yes. In a port? No. About a mile down on the floor of the Atlantic? Yes.
