Project history

Barquentine-rigged ships, Koreets having a much more pronounced ram bow than Mandzhur. Both were reckoned poor performers under sail. The 203mm guns were in forward sponsons with 19mm shields, and the 152mm aft. The 107mm were on the broadside and were sponsoned in Koreets,

Modernizations

None.

Naval service

Koreets was scuttled by own crew 9.2.1904 after the action at Chemulpo in which she took virtually no part. Mandzhur was interned at Shanghai by Chinese Government 9.2.1904 and returned to Russia after war. 30.6.1918 she was captured by Japanese troops and White Army at Vladivostok and in October 1922 she departed Russia to Manila and was sold there in 1923.
