“Navarin” – the first Russian battleship, which had the classic armament of four heavy (305-mm) main-caliber guns in two turrets in the bow and stern and a battery of medium-caliber (152 mm) cannons in the central part. She became the fourth battleship in the Baltic Fleet built according to the “Twenty Years Program” adopted in 1881, and the first one, in the project of which from the very beginning the possibility of long-distance ocean voyages was laid, including to the Far East.
