The ship was laid down in St. Petersburg on May 20, 1895. It was built according the project of the battleship “Admiral Ushakov” and became the third ship of that type. In 1905 it made a long passage from Libau to the Far East, where it was enlisted into the Second Pacific squadron, with which it took part in the Tsushima Battle. It was taken captive to Japan and later was used under the name “IJN Okinosima”. In 1939 it was scrapped.
