Soviet minelayer Marti
After the fall of the Romanov dynasty, Standart was stripped down and pressed into naval service. The ship was renamed 18 marta (18 March), and later Marti (in honor of André Marty ). In 1932–1936, Marti was converted into a minelayer by the Marti yard in Leningrad . During the Second World War , Marti served in the Baltic , laying mines and bombarding shore positions along the coast. On 23 September 1941, Marti was damaged in an air attack at Kronstadt , but later repaired and continued service until the end of the war. A mine laid off Hanko by Marti sunk the German submarine chaser UJ.117/ Gustav Kroner on 1 October 1941.
After the war, Marti was converted into a training ship and renamed Oka in 1957. She continued serving in that role until she was scrapped at Tallinn , Estonia , in 1963.
