- Russian battleship Poltava (1911)
"Poltava" was a sclass|Gangut|battleship of the Imperial Russian Navy.
The "Poltava" was laid down in 1909 at the Admiralty Shipyard, St.Petersburg. She was launched in July 1911 and completed in December 1914. Named after the Battle of Poltava (1709), the ship was laid up for repairs in 1918. On 24 November 1919 a fire broke out on board which further crippled the ship and she was deemed beyond repair. Nevertheless, she was returned to service as an experimental hulk in 1925. On 7 January 1926 she was given the name "Frunze". Repair work began two years later but was halted in the mid-thirties. Plans to rebuild the ship as a battlecruiser or aircraft carrier were considered but abandoned. The "Frunze" continued service as a barracks hulk until she was stripped for parts. She was scuttled as a blockship in 1941, raised in 1944, and was scrapped in 1956.
