SS Admiral Nakhimov (Russian: Адмирал Нахимов), launched in March 1925 and originally named SS Berlin, was a passenger liner of the German Weimar Republic later converted to a Kriegsmarine hospital ship, then a Soviet passenger ship. On 31 August 1986, Admiral Nakhimov collided with the Soviet large bulk carrier Pyotr Vasyov (Russian: Пётр Васёв) in the Tsemes Bay, near the Port of Novorossiysk, Russian SFSR, and quickly sank. In total, 423 of the 1,234 people on board died.
