Baltic Battler

Dimitri Donskoi, below as a trailer sailer with modified ship rig, about 1898. Square rigged, she could hoist lateens on all three masts if needed. Above, her running rigging had been stripped, about 1900, and here she wears Rhozdventsky's livery.
The Donskoi's final battle was remarkable for such an old ship. She'd been built in 1888 and was by no means in the peak of fitness for the battle of Tsushima. Nevertheless, she made an heroic final stand - holding off Japanese torpedo boats - until late on the 29th, when her crew blew her up to avoid capture.

The name Dimitri Donskoi is still held in high esteem and the modern Russian navy named one of the surviving 'Akula' class, ballistic missile submarines in her honour. (ie, 'Typhoon class' by NATO nomenclature)
