Russian battleship Imperator Pavel I
Russian Andrei Pervozvanny-class battleship / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imperator Pavel I (Russian: Император Павел I - Tsar Paul I) was one of two Andrei Pervozvanny-class predreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Russian Navy in the first decade of the 20th century. The ship's construction was greatly delayed by design changes as a result of the Russo-Japanese War and labor unrest after the 1905 Revolution, and she took nearly six years to build. Imperator Pavel I was not very active during World War I and her bored sailors were the first to mutiny in early 1917. The ship was laid up in 1918 and she was scrapped in 1923.
