Poltava
Poltava, the Northern Parliament's pride and joy, was built in the early 20th century as a response to the growing tensions in Europe. Her keel was laid down in 1909, and she was launched in 1911, just before the outbreak of World War I. Poltava was one of the first battleships to be equipped with steam turbines, giving her a significant advantage over her predecessors.
