The Knyaz Suvorov (Russian: Князь Суворов) was a Borodino-class pre-dreadnought battleship of the Russian Imperial Navy, built by Baltic Works, St Petersburg. Laid down in July 1901, she was launched in September 1902 and completed in September 1904. This ship was named after the 18th-century Russian general Alexander Suvorov. Her only action was at the Battle of Tsushima. During the battle, Knyaz Suvorov had to break off from the main battle line after a Japanese shell hit her control room, killing her helmsman and wounding her captain and Admiral Zinovy Rozhdestvensky. She managed to enter a fog where her crew extinguished several fires. However, she soon came under attack again and was sunk by Japanese torpedo boats.
