Renamed: GROZNYY in974/75 ? : GROZNY in 1991

I am not sure if she had been renamed when the photo was taken.

Certainly launched as ROBKAP 1.

Keel; 7th September 1973.
Launch; 13th November 1974.
Trials; 3rd une 1975.

1976 Lloyds has her as GROZNYY so that would be a pre June rename.

She was still bearing her original name of ROBKAP I when I sighted her on the Tyne on 1 May 1975 (in fact I recorded her name then as being Robkapi!). Miramar has her as completed only a month later as GROZNYY, which I think was confirmed in LR at the time. So would still be ROBKAP I when Peter saw her.
