Oslyabya had a very brief career before she became the first ship sunk during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. She took about eight years to build and had only about two years of service before she was sunk. The ship was one of three Russian second-class battleships built to support their strategy of commerce raiding if war had broken out against the British. While not intended to stand in the line of battle, the Russians had no choice to use them that way once the Russo-Japanese War began. As usual I'm looking for infelicitous phrasings and any jargon that needs to be explained. The article had a MilHist A-class review, that included an image review, several months ago and should be in pretty good shape, but y'all know how that goes. This is a joint nomination between Buggie111 and myself. He's in Russia, last I had contact with him, but hopefully he'll be able to comment.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 20:51, 10 September 2015 (UTC) reply
Support Well written. I only have a couple of things.
Support - I reviewed the article at the Milhist ACR and my concerns were addressed there. Great work, as usual. Parsecboy ( talk) 11:33, 12 September 2015 (UTC) reply
