Naval service

Vnimatelny ran ashore at night 27.5.1904 off Murchison Island and torpedoed by destroyer Vynoslivy. Vnushitelny 25.2.1904 was scuttled by own crew in Golubinaya Bight off Port Arthur being damaged by Japanese cruisers. Vynoslivy was mined off Port Arthur 24.8.1904. Vlastny 1.1.1905 at Chifu and Grozovoy 12.8.1904 at Shanghai were interned by Chinese Government and returned to Russia after war. In November 1917 both were under repair in United Kingdom and captured by British troops. They were transferred by British to White Russian Army but in May 1918  exchanged by Whites for a coal and sold for scrap.
