The Russian battleship class Yekaterina II consisted of two battleships. The Yekaterina II and the Imperator Nikolai I. The Yekaterina II was launched on the 6th of June 1914 and commissioned into the Navy on the 13th of December 1915. She was in action against the Turkish battlecruiser Goeben in the Black Sea during the 8th June 1916. After the revolution she was renamed by the Soviets as Svobodniya Rossia she was again in action in the Black sea pursuing the German Cruiser Breslau. The Svobodniya followed the Breslau into the Baltic, where she was sunk by six torpedoes from the destroyer Kersh. |
