 Lost Battalion Games - Brawling Battleships™ - The Ships of Brawling Battleships: Russia Battleship Gangut   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Gangut was the name ship in a four-ship battleship class for the Baltic Sea and was the first Russian dreadnought.
Considered rather fast for battleships, the Gangut class acquired their speed at the cost of armor protection and this deliberate design feature (the Russians wanted a cross between a battleship and a battle cruiser), which included stretching the armor over as large an area as possible, gave the ships very limited staying power.
The “Gangut” name commemorated the Battle of Gangut, a naval battle in the Baltic Sea won over the Swedes by Peter the Great in 1714.
