Borodino BC

Unbuilt proposal.

Russia’s Borodino-class battlecruisers, also called the Izmail class, were large capital ships begun before the First World War. They were intended to combine high speed with a substantial 14-inch main battery. War, revolution, and financial disruption prevented completion. They are distinct from the earlier Borodino-class pre-dreadnought battleships lost in the Russo-Japanese War. These unfinished ships were part of Russia’s attempt to create a more powerful Baltic force before wartime disruption transformed the country’s priorities. Their construction involved major industrial commitments that could not easily be completed amid revolution and civil conflict. Their history ends in cancellation and disposal, not an unrecorded series of battles after the design stage.
