Ekaterina II class battleships
This GTC comprises the first pre-dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Russian Navy. They served in the Black Sea, but were generally relegated to second-line service by the First World War and the oldest two were used as targets shortly before the war began. Neither of the two survivors saw combat during the war. One ship was towed away when the Whites evacuated the Crimea in 1920 and was not scrapped until the 1930s, but the remaining ship was scrapped by the Soviets a decade earlier.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:10, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
