Prototype
The Russian battleship Sevastopol (Russian: Севастополь) was the last of three ships in the Petropavlovsk class of pre-dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Russian Navy in the 1890s. Named after the siege at Sevastopol during the Crimean War, the ship was commissioned into the First Pacific Squadron of the Russian Pacific Fleet and was stationed at Port Arthur. The ship was unique for being one of the first to have Harvey nickel-steel armor and Popov radios installed on her. She was 11,854 long tons (12,044 t), was laid down on 1 June 1895 and comissioned in 1899.
Sevastopol saw service in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05. After she was slightly damaged during the surprise attack on Port Arthur in early February, she participated in several attempts to break out from the port, most notably the Battle of the Yellow Sea, where she was damaged by several shells but managed to make it back to port. Immediately after the surrender of Port Arthur she was scuttled to prevent her capture by the Imperial Japanese Navy and never raised. The remains of the ship still lie outside the entrance to Port Arthur.
