Historical Context of the Battleship Poltava

The Battleship Poltava was one of the vessels of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Empire. Launched in 1894, she entered service in 1899. The ship's name commemorated Tsar Peter the Great’s victory at the Battle of Poltava. Poltava took an active part in military operations, especially during the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), where she fought, among others, in the Battle of Port Arthur. Poltava exemplified Russian battleships at the tail end of the pre-dreadnought era, when navies worldwide competed to build ever more powerful vessels.
