Ekaterina II class battleship

Ekaterina II class battleship

The "Ekaterina II"-class were a group of ironclad battleships built for the Imperial Russian Navy in the 1880s. The design was unique in that three turrets were grouped in a triangle around a central armoured redoubt, two side by side forward and one on the centreline aft. Four ships were built for the Black Sea Fleet. "Ekaterina II" was built in Nikolayev. The other three ships were built in Sevastopol by the Russian Steam Navigation company.
