Borodino class battlecruiser
- Borodino class battlecruiser
The four "Borodino" class (also referred to as "Izmail" class) battlecruisers of the Imperial Russian Navy were all laid down in December 1913 at St. Petersburg and were intended to serve in the Baltic Fleet. The Russians tried to expedite the completion of these ships by ordering machinery from abroad, but new turbines had to be ordered after the outbreak of World War I. The ships were launched in 1915-1916, but the outbreak of the Russian Revolution in 1917 put a stop to their construction, which never resumed. The incomplete hulls were later sold for scrap by the Soviet Union.

The ships were named after victorious battles:
*"Borodino" (Бородино): Built by Admiralty Yard, St. Petersburg, laid down 19 December 1913, launched 1 July 1915, broken up incomplete 1923.
*"Izmail" (Измаил): Built by Baltic Yard, St. Petersburg, laid down 19 December 1913, launched 27 June 1915, broken up incomplete 1931. Construction of this ship was the most advanced of the class, and the Soviet Government considered completing her in the 1920s but could not do so, and she was sold for scrapping.
*"Kinburn" (Кинбурн): Built by Baltic Yard, St. Petersburg, laid down 19 December 1913, launched 30 October 1915, broken up incomplete 1923.
*"Navarin" (Наварин): Built by Admiralty Yard, St. Petersburg, laid down 19 December 1913, launched 9 November 1916, broken up incomplete 1923. Her turbines were ordered from AG Vulcan in Germany. They were confiscated at the start of the war and used as the machinery for the German minelaying cruisers "Brummer" and "Bremse".
