Part of Petropavlovsk-class or sometimes called Poltava-class consisting of the Poltava, Sevastopol and Petropavlovsk, preceded by Sissoi Veliky (built 1891-1896) and succeeded by Rostislav(1894-1900). The design process started with the Imperator Nikolai I (1886-1891) although replacing the gun turrets by barbettes. To avoid the problems with the casemate-mounted secondary armament with the Imperator Aleksandr II (1885-1891) in rough was chosen with the gun layout of the American Indiana-class battleships where the turret mounted armament was position on the upper deck. Laid down by Galernii Island Shipyard, Saint Petersburg, Russia on 19 May 1892, launched on 9 November 1894, in service in 1899 and sunk while striking one of more mines off Port Arthur on 13 April 1904.
