Launched on 25 September 1902, ImKnyaz Suvorov was Borodino-class pre-dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Russian Navy. Entering service in September 1904, she sailed a month later on 15 October 1904, with the Second Pacific Squadron to break the Japanese blockade of Port Arthur. The Japanese captured the port while the squadron was in transit and their destination was changed to Vladivostok. During the Battle of Tsushima, the ship fell out of the battle line after a shell hit her bridge, killing her helmsman and wounding her captain and Vice Admiral Rozhestvensky. Knyaz Suvorov was eventually torpedoed and sunk by Japanese torpedo boats; other than 20 wounded officers evacuated by a destroyer, there were no survivors.
