Letun

Letun (Летун) was one of eight Orfey-class destroyers built for the Imperial Russian Navy during World War I. Completed in 1916, she served with the Baltic Fleet and made six raids into the Baltic Sea to attack German shipping or lay minefields. The ship struck a naval mine in October that crippled her. Letun's crew joined the Bolsheviks while she was being repaired in 1917. The ship was towed from Helsinki, Grand Duchy of Finland, in April 1918 in what became known as the "Ice Cruise" as the harbor was still iced over. She was placed in reserve later that month and was briefly reactivated in 1921. Letun was stricken from the navy list in 1922 and sold for scrap five years later.
