Gangut Battleship – History and Service

The Gangut battleship was the first dreadnought-class ship built for the Russian Navy. Commissioned in 1914, it formed the backbone of the Russian fleet during World War I. Built in Saint Petersburg, it belonged to the Gangut-class battleships, a series which included four ships in total. The vessel operated mainly in the Baltic Sea, participating in patrols, escort missions, and defending ports against the German fleet. After the October Revolution, it became part of the Bolshevik Navy and, during World War II, it was also used for shore artillery support.
