Project history: Black Sea Fleet. Renamed after the notorious mutiny. A three-funnelled ship cut down to a high main deck aft. The 305mm guns were in French-type turrets, 4 of the 152mm in upper deck casemates and 12 in a main deck battery.
Ship protection: The main belt ran for 72m and was 2.3m wide and 229-203mm thick with a 127mm lower edge. The 152mm upper belt was taken to the main deck for 48m, which was 4m less than the extent of the battery armour. The bulkheads were 178-127mm and the alloy steel armour deck 51mm on the flat with 63mm slopes outside the area of the battery, increased to 76mm at the ends. The battery roof was 38mm and the turret crowns 76mm.
