Battleship Petropavlovsk at sea - a photo on Flickriver

Shortly after their completion, these ships were transferred to Port Arthur on the Pacific Ocean. The Russians had recently “rented” this harbour to the Chinese but Japan considered their presence there a threat (more info about this “mess” on my Youtube documentaries about the First Sino Japanese War).

When the Russo-Japanese War started in 1904, the three Petropavlovsks were the core of the Russian Battleship Fleet and they were widely used in combat. The name ship, Petropavlovsk sunk after striking a Japanese mine on 13 of April, 1904, taking with it the Commander of the Russian Pacific Fleet (Admiral Makarov) and almost 700 men of its crew.
Sevastopol also hit a mine shortly after, but survived and returned to port.

The two surviving ships fought against the Japanese Combined Fleet during the inconclusive Battle of the Yellow Sea and were forced to return to the Port Arthur, were Poltava was destroyed by the massive 280mm Siege guns that the Imperial Japanese Army deployed there.

Sevastopol was moved to a position out of range of those guns but was frequently attacked by Japanese Torpedo-boats for weeks. When Port Arthur surrendered to the Japanese, the crew of the Sevastopol scuttled the ship in deep waters.
Poltava was repaired by the Japanese and renamed Tango, serving with the IJN until 1916 when it was sold back to Russia and renamed “Chesma”. It was destroyed by the British at Murmansk in 1919 during the Russian Revolution.
