Prototype
The Russian battleship Tsesarevich (Цесаревич) was built in France by Compagnie des Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée à la Seine for the Imperial Russian Navy. She was named after the Tsesarevich - the title reserved for the eldest son of the Tsar and heir to the Russian throne. She was based in the Pacific and fought in the Russo-Japanese War, and was the flagship of Admiral Wilgelm Vitgeft in the Battle of the Yellow Sea. The Tsesarevich design was the basis of the Borodino-class battleships which were built in Russia.
At the end of the Russo-Japanese war the ship was transferred to the Baltic and saw action in World War I, taking part in the Battle of Moon Sound in 1917. After the Russian Revolution she was renamed Grazhdanin (Гражданин meaning Citizen). She was hulked in 1918 and scrapped in 1924 in Germany.
