Russian Gangut-class Battleship WW1

The Gangut class comprised Russia’s first dreadnought battleships, with four triple 305 mm turrets arranged along the centerline. Completed around the beginning of the First World War, the ships served in the Baltic amid the upheavals of war and revolution. Surviving vessels later received Soviet names and modifications, so their early configuration differs from later service appearances. Their arrangement of triple turrets and relatively low freeboard created a distinctive silhouette. The ships’ Baltic setting also mattered: minefields, narrow waters, and the political disruption of revolution shaped service. Later Soviet reconstruction could alter machinery and superstructures, making a World War I model different from a representation of the same hull in the Second World War.
