Slava was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the Imperial Russian Navy. Completed too late to participate in the Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War, she survived while all of her sister ships were either sunk during the battle or surrendered to the Imperial Japanese Navy. Slava was scuttled in the Moon Sound Strait between the island of Muhu (Moon) and the mainland. The Estonians scrapped her during the 1930s. She was the last of the five Borodino-class battleships to be completed before the start of World War I. The ship was 389 feet 5 inches (118.69 m) long at the waterline and 397 feet 3 inches (121.1 m)Long overall, with a beam of 76 feet 1 inch (23.2 m) and a draft of 29 feet 2 inches (8.9 m), 38 inches (965 mm) more than designed. At full load she carried 1,350 long tons (1,372 t) of coal that provided her a range of 2,590 nautical miles (4,800 km; 2,980 mi)
