Borodino - Russian squadron battleship. It was built in 1901 in St. Petersburg at the New Admiralty shipyard under the guidance of ship engineer D.V. Skvortsov according to the revised design of the battleship Tsesarevich. Laid down on May 25, 1900, launched on September 8, 1901. It entered service in September 1904. Due to the unreliability of the machines, the battleship could develop only 16 nodes instead of the design 18. Under the command of Captain 1st Rank Pyotr Iosifovich Serebrennikov, he participated in the Battle of Tsushima. At 19: 10-19: 12, the last 12" shell from the bow turret of the Japanese battleship "Fuji" exploded near the right bow 6" turret "Borodino." A column of flame and smoke rose to the height of the chimneys. The battleship was enveloped in clouds of smoke and steam. The fires are out of control. Suddenly, the battleship fell to the starboard side, capsized and soon sank with the entire crew. Only sailor Semyon Yushchin was rescued from the water.
