Sevastopol was the first completed ship of the Gangut class of the Imperial Russian Navy, built before World War I.
The Gangut were the first class of Russian dreadnoughts.
She was named after the siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War.
She was completed in the winter of 1914-15, but was not ready for service until mid-1915.
Her task was to defend the mouth of the Gulf of Finland against the Germans, who never attempted to invade.
So she spent her time training and providing cover for minelaying operations.
Her crew joined the general mutiny of the Baltic Fleet after the February Revolution, and later that year joined the Bolsheviks.
She was decommissioned in 1918 due to a lack of sailors, but her crew joined the Kronstadt Uprising of 1921.
