Answer – KRI Irian – a Russian Sverdlov class cruiser, could have been the Commonwealth FESR Fleet’s biggest threat had it put to sea. Formerly the Ordzhonikidze, this was sold to Indonesian in 1962. She displaced over 16,000 tons full load and her main armament was 12 x 6 inch guns in four turrets.
