Russian battleship Rostislav (1896)

Rostislav (Ростислав - named after Grand Prince Rostislav I of Kiev) was a Russian pre-Dreadnought battleship. Built by Nikolayev dockyard, laid down in 1895, launched in September 1896, and completed in 1898. She served in the Black Sea Fleet and fought in World War I. In June 1909 she sunk the Russian submarine "Karas" in an accidental collision. The ship was captured by the Germans and British during the Russian Civil War and transferred to the White Forces. She was scuttled on 16 November 1920 to prevent recapture by the Red Army.
