Sevastopol (1911 ship)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sevastopol (Севастополь) was a Russian Dreadnought battleship of the Gangut class
The Sevastopol built by Admiralty Shipyard, St.Petersburg, was laid down 1909, launched in October 1911, and completed in November 1914. Originally named after the city of Sevastopol in the Crimea, renamed Parizhskaya Kommuna after the Paris Commune of 1871, she was transferred to the Black Sea Fleet in 1929, because all of the Black Sea dreadnoughts were lost during the Revolution and subsequent Russian Civil War. The ship fought in World War II, was renamed Sevastopol in 1943, and was scrapped in 1957.
