Name also given to one of two Russian destroyers (this one, ‘Avtroil’, built, ironically, by Tallinn shipbuilders Bocker and Lange with help from France) hijacked by the British and offered to Estonia in 1919, then flogged to Peruvian Navy in 1933, and scrapped in 1954. See Vambola. Also Soviet occupation renaming (1936-1991) of Mardi.
