Potemkin (full name: Duke of Potemkin Tavricheskij ) was a Russian, later Soviet, battleship, the so-called The pre-dreadnote, under which the keel was laid in 1898 in the shipyard in Mikołajewo, was launched in September 1900, and entered service in the Russian Navy in 1904. The length of the ship was 115.3 m, width 22.2 m, and a displacement of about 12,900 tons. The maximum speed was 16-17 knots. The main armament was 4 305 mm guns, and the secondary armament consisted of, among others, 16 152 mm guns and 14 75 mm guns.

Potemkin was constructed as the crowning achievement of the Russian pre-dreadnoughts, and was primarily built to operate in the Black Sea basin. The unit became famous in 1905 by the open revolt of the crew against tsarism and its arbitrary voyage to Odessa. Then the battleship left Odessa and headed to the port of Constana in Romania, where it managed to dock on the second attempt. The Romanian authorities returned the ship to Russia very quickly. The Russian Navy then decided to change the name of the ship to Panteleimon. During World War I, the battleship took part in actions against Turkey (including the skirmish near Cape Sarycz in 1914). During the October Revolution, its crew supported the Bolsheviks, and in 1918-1919 it was occupied successively by the Germans, Denikin's troops (the so-called whites) and finally the French, who blew up the ship in 1919 in Sevastopol.
