The “Knyaz Suvorov” was a Borodino-class battleship in the Imperial Russian Navy, named after the famed military leader Alexander Suvorov. Completed in 1904, it was one of the last pre-dreadnought battleships constructed before the advent of the revolutionary HMS Dreadnought. Built at the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg, the “Knyaz Suvorov” joined the Baltic Fleet and played a notable role in the Russo-Japanese War. It was notably part of the Second Pacific Squadron under Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky and engaged in the critical Battle of Tsushima in May 1905, where it was tragically sunk. This battle was a turning point in naval warfare and marked a significant defeat for Russia, impacting its naval strategies and policies in the subsequent years.
