Historical information
Sissoi Veliky was a pre-dreadnought battleship built for the Imperial Russian Navy in the 1890s. Immediately after sea trials, Sissoi Veliky sailed to the Mediterranean to enforce the naval blockade of Crete during the Greco–Turkish War.
In 1902 the ship returned to Kronstadt for repairs, but very little was achieved until the early losses of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05 caused the formation of the Second Pacific Squadron to relieve the Russian forces blockaded in Port Arthur.
Sissoi Veliky sailed for the Far East with the rest of the Baltic battleships and participated in the Battle of Tsushima on May 15 1905 and has been flooded.
