The Fates of the Uragan-Class Russian Monitors-- Part 2

**  BRONENOSETS (Armadillo)--    Laid up and decommissioned in 1900.  She was then converted into a coal barge and renamed Barzha No. 34, the Barzha No.  51 and finally Barzha No. 3234.  She sank in the Gulf of Finland during a storm in World War I.

**  LATNIK (Cuirassier)-- Laid up and decommissioned in 1900.  She was then converted into a coal barge and renamed Barzha No. 38 and then Barzha No. 326.  She was abandoned by the Russians when they withdrew from Helsinki in 1918, and she was broken up by the Finns in the 1920s.

**  LAVA (Avalanche)--  Laid up and decommissioned in 1900. She was hulked and renamed  Blokshiv No. 1, and served as a mine depot until 1916, when she was converted into a hospital barge.  She was abandoned by the Russians when they withdrew from Helsinki in April 1918, but later returned to Russia by the Finns.  Probably broken up in the 1920s, but her hull might even have survived until World War II.
