The ''Petr Velikyy'' (Петр Великий - Peter The Great ) was a Russian Ironclad turret Battleship . The design was similar to HMS ''Devastation'' . This ship had a long and convoluted history. She was built by Galernii yard in St Petersburg . Laid down in June 1869, she was launched in 1872, and completed in 1877. The original machinery proved unsatisfactory and was replaced in 1881 by The Elder company in Glasgow, Scotland . She subsequently served in the Baltic Fleet . She was considered obsolete by 1905 and reconstructed as a training ship. Served in World War I, renamed '''''Republikanets''''' (Republican) after the Russian Revolution , subsequently converted into a stationary depot ship and renamed '''''Barikada''''' (Baricade) and finally scrapped in 1959.
