Glory

Slava (Glory) scuttled in Moon Sound, off Muhu Island, Gulf of Riga. She was last of the Borodino class, finished in 1906 and thus too late for the Russo-Japanese War.

In late September 1917 her and the Tchesma, the renamed Tessarevich, fought against an attempt by units of Germany's High Seas Fleet to break into the Gulf of Finland. The ensuing Battle of Moon Sound was an unequal contest between German Dreadnought battleships and the remnant of the Tsarist Baltic Battlefleet.

Slava was disabled by heavy hits from the German SMS Konig and, down by the stern, couldn't negotiate the shallow passage and so scuttled herself.

It was the last battle fought under the Andreevsky Flag.
