The post-1960 ships were a little bigger in displacement than the previous ones (5230 vs. 4871/5035 grt). Out of them some still survive:
NIKOLAYEVSK was last reported in 2004 as laid up,
BAYKAL was also laid up at Vladivostok as in 2004,
while for KHABAROVSK there is controversy. Some sources state that she was also laid up at Vladivostok in 2004 while others mention that she was scrapped back in 1992.
Ι remember having seen ADZHARIA several times at Piraeus in the 80s.
She did'nt got a second life like BASHKIRIYA and was scrapped in 1996.
Here is a photo of her, moored next to the customs.

Good friend Ellinis and All
As you know I love these ships series, and after seeing your great photo of the ADZHARIA I could not resist to imagine one of these beauties with Chandris colours...
So, applying to your sense of humor, I used your photo to imagine and create one of these ships, how she would eventually be with Chandris colours and the result was this:
TSS IBERICA.JPG
If you consider ofensive, please let me know, because I will erase it immidiatly.
Concerning the name IBERICA, well, I believe this is a good name that could be used in a ship that would connect or cruise from Portugal bound to Greece...
And I love these colours, these ships would have been perfect for Chandris cruises for sure....or Epirotiki....
I look for your comments
Brgds

Such a nice idea, Dimas! I really like the way that she would look like in Chandris colours.
As for the name, Chandris was using untill the 80s names denoting the female national of a country, ie Britanis for British lady, Italis for Italian, etc
So the Chandris selection for a ship operating from Portugal could be Portogallis (portuguesse lady). However it does'nt sound that good, Iberica sounds better...
i have search at home and i found somethink for us
this is a captain on his ship
a very rare modellship from the DDR
