"Dvenadsat Apostolov was 335 feet 6 inches (102.3 m) long at the waterline and 342 feet (104.2 m) long overall. She had a beam of 60 feet (18.3 m) and a draft of 27 feet 6 inches (8.4 m). Her exact displacement was never measured, but has been estimated at 8,710 long tons (8,850 t), over 600 long tons (610 t) more than her designed displacement of 8,076 long tons (8,206 t).
Her hull form was generally similar to that of the Imperator Aleksandr II class although her ram was 4 feet (1.2 m) longer. The hull was subdivided by eleven transverse and one centerline longitudinal watertight bulkheads and she had a complete double bottom 35.4 inches (900 mm) deep. The ship had a metacentric height of 2.62 feet (80 cm). Dvenadsat Apostolov demonstrated better seakeeping qualities than the older Ekaterina II class during a storm in October 1894, although she rolled badly and leaked through her ports and hatches. Naval historian N. J. M. Campbell assessed her as a considerably better fighting ship than the Imperator Aleksandr II class.
Dvenadsat Apostolov had a pair of three-cylinder vertical triple-expansion steam engines built by the Baltic Works and had a total designed output of 8,500 indicated horsepower (6,338 kW).[5] Eight cylindrical boilers provided steam to the engines, which drove two 5.26-meter (17 ft) screw propellers.[6] During her sea trials in September 1894, the powerplant produced 8,758 ihp (6,531 kW) and a top speed of 15.2 knots (28.2 km/h; 17.5 mph) using forced draft; at normal draft the ship reached about 14.5 knots (26.9 km/h; 16.7 mph). After her initial engine trials, the ship's funnels were raised by 12 ft 6 in (3.81 m) to improve their draft and to keep the superstructure clear of funnel gases. She carried 710 long tons (720 t) of coal at full load that provided a range of 1,900 nautical miles (3,500 km; 2,200 mi) at a speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). Dvenadsat Apostolov had six Siemens dynamos with a total output of 540 kilowatts (720 hp)."
Her history includes: "Dvenadsat Apostolov (Russian: Двенадцать Апостолов—"Twelve Apostles") was a pre-dreadnought battleship built for the Imperial Russian Navy, the sole ship of her class. She served in the Black Sea Fleet and was built by Nikolayev Admiralty Dockyard. Laid down in February 1888, and launched in September 1890, she was commissioned in December 1892. She became an immobile submarine depot ship in 1912 after she was decommissioned and disarmed the previous year. She was captured by the Germans in 1918 in Sevastopol and was handed over to the Allies in December 1918. Lying immobile in Sevastopol, she was captured by both sides in the Russian Civil War before permanently falling into the hands of the Soviets when the White Russians evacuated the Crimea. She was used as a stand-in for the title ship during the filming of The Battleship Potemkin and was finally scrapped in 1931."
The Black Sea Fleet had some interesting ironclads............
