Historical information

General Admiral Graf Apraksin, sometimes transliterated as Apraxin, was a member of the Admiral Ushakov-class coastal defense ships of the Imperial Russian Navy. She was named after General Admiral Fyodor Matveyevich Apraksin, the first commander of Russian Baltic Fleet.

She was one of eight Russian pre-dreadnought battleships captured by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905. She subsequently served in the Japanese Navy as Okinoshima until removed from service in 1922.

She had only three guns (a single gun turret aft, as shown in the photograph), instead of her sister ships, which were equipped with four guns.
