Soviet Minesweeper T-114
T-114 was a minesweeper of the Soviet Navy during World War II. She had originally been built as USS Alchemy (AM-141), an Admirable-class minesweeper, for the United States Navy during World War II, but never saw active service in the U.S. Navy. Upon completion she was transferred to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease as T-114; she was never returned to the United States. T-114 was sunk by U-365 in the Kara Sea in August 1944. Because of the Cold War, the U.S. Navy was unaware of this fate and the vessel remained on the American Naval Vessel Register until she was struck on 1 January 1983.
