Original Note:
Pepsi never owned the ships. It was to act as a middleman between the Norwegian shipping company and the USSR while retaining a portion of the sales of the ships. https://www.historydefined.net/pepsi-navy/ However, there is still doubt if the deal even happened as the USSR collapsed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PepsiCo#Soviet_Union
