Russia:
Sverdlov-class cruiser Murmansk outside of Sørvær village in Norway.
Murmansk was a Soviet light cruiser project no. 68-bis. It was part of the Soviet (and later, the Russian) Navy’s Northern Fleet.
Construction began in Severodvinsk in 1953, and she was commissioned on September 22, 1955. It joined the 2nd Cruiser Division when it was formed in 1956.
Murmansk was sold to India for scrap in 1994, but she ran aground off the coast of Norway, near Sørvær, after breaking free while being towed on December 24th. The seas in that area are known to be rough with extreme weather conditions.
Originally, the decision was made to allow the winter storms to destroy the parts that are above water.
In 2009, funding was provided to dismantle the ship, since it could no longer be towed due to its deteriorating condition. The largest demolition contractor in Scandinavia, AF Decom, built a breakwater and dry dock around the Murmansk to demolish it on site. In April 2012, the dry dock was sealed.
In mid-May, the dock was almost clear of the water. According to project manager and senior advisor Knut Arnhus of the Norwegian Coastal Administration, the decision was made to not remove all of the water to avoiding causing unnecessary stress on the hull. Construction equipment was brought in and the ship was torn apart piece by piece. The demolition was finished in 2013 with the pieces having been sent to waste and recycling facilities.

USN:
U.S.S. Casco, Light-Draft Monitor - James River, VA
The first USS Casco was the first of a class of twenty 1,175-ton light-draft monitors built by Atlantic Works, Boston, Massachusetts for the Union Navy during the American Civil War.
Upon her launching in May 1864, it was found that the design of these ships was seriously flawed. She was pronounced unseaworthy when nearly completed and on 25 June 1864 she was ordered to be converted to a torpedo vessel, without a turret or heavy guns.
Sailors and Marines posing on the ship's after turret, circa 1910-14. Upper guns of this "superposed" turret are 8"/45s. The lower ones are 12"/40s.
Note bugle held by the Marine in the lower centre.
