Evstafi class battleships

[edit]

These two ships were the most modern battleships in the Russian Black Sea Fleet at the start of World War I. They successfully engaged the much larger and more powerful battlecruiser Yavuz on several occasions during the first year of the war without significant damage to themselves. They were relegated to second-line duties when the Russian dreadnoughts began to enter service at the end of 1915 and sold for scrap by the Soviets as hopelessly obsolete.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:41, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
