Re: BCRS errata

BCRS Vol 3 has the Russian destroyer Sokushitel'nyy damaged by bombs. In looking through the following:
Warship 2008
Warship 2009
and the ships wiki bio

The ship was repaired but 20 Nov 42 in heavy weather the ships stern broke off and the ships bridge officers lead the way in abandoning ship. The next day the other 4 destroyers running short of fuel sailed off leaving what remained the the Sokushitel'nyy and the 13 men remaining men on board behind. Neither was ever seen again. The Captain of the destroyer was shot and the XO was sent to a penal Battalion where he managed to survive was reinstated in rank and retired a Rear Admiral. Not the Soviet Navy's finest hour.
