Very interesting. September 1954, according to Wikipedia, which adds that she was renamed Carmania in 1962 and Leonid Sobinov in 1973, being scrapped in 1999. I mention this just so I can quote the following from the same site: "In January 1979, as the ship lay in Sydney Harbour, an 18-year-old crew member, Liliana Gasinskaya, slipped out of a porthole wearing only a red bikini, and swam across the harbour to claim political asylum. She rapidly achieved fame as the Red Bikini Girl, and, amongst other things, was the first nude centerfold in Australia's edition of Penthouse Magazine. By 1995, she was laid up." Presumably the last sentence refers to the ship!
