- Le Duc d'Édimbourg (en russe : Герцог Эдинбургский, Gerzog Edinbourgski) est un croiseur cuirassé construit pour la Marine impériale russe. Il fut le second d'une série de deux navires de la classe Amiral général. Sa construction débuta le 15 septembre 1870, à cette époque il lui fut attribué le nom d’Alexandre Nevski, en 1872, il fut rebaptisé du nom de Duc d'Édimbourg. Lancé le 29 août 1875, il entra en service en 1877. Le navire est construit au chantier naval de la Baltique sous la supervision du lieutenant-général de l'Amirauté Nikolaï Kouteïnikov (1845-1906). En raison de sa faible vitesse, le Duc d'Édimbourg ne fut pas une menace pour la suprématie des mers de la Royal Navy. La flotte britannique comme la flotte française possédaient des navires plus puissants, plus rapides. Néanmoins, les forces navales anglaises répondirent à la construction des deux croiseurs cuirassés de la classe Amiral général en produisant le HMS Shannon (construction en 1873, lancé en 1875, mis en service en 1877, démantelé en 1899), deux navires de la classe Nelson, à savoir : le (construit en 1874, lancement 1876, mis en service en 1878, démantelé en 1905) et le (construit en 1874, lancement en 1876, mis en service en 1881, démantelé en 1910).

- Gerzog Edinburgski (Russian: Герцог Эдинбургский) was an armoured cruiser of the General-Admiral class built for the Imperial Russian Navy. She was the sister ship of General-Admiral and was named after Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Duke of Edinburgh (Gerzog Edinburgski in Russian) who married Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia. Gerzog Edinburgski was originally to be named Alexander Nevski but was renamed before launching. She was launched in 1875 and served in the Far East from 1879 to 1884 and in the Mediterranean Sea from 1897 until ca. 1900. While in the Mediterranean, she deployed to Crete to serve in the International Squadron, a multinational force made up of ships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, French Navy, Imperial German Navy, Italian Royal Navy (Regia Marina), Imperial Russian Navy, and Royal Navy that intervened in the 1897-1898 Greek uprising on Crete against rule by the Ottoman Empire. She took part in the squadron's final operations when, as flagship of the commander of the squadron's Russian forces, Rear Admiral Nikolai Skrydlov, she departed Crete along with the British battleship HMS Revenge (flagship of the commander of British forces in the squadron, Rear-Admiral Gerard Noel) and the Italian battleship Francesco Morosini (flagship of the admiral commanding the squadron's Italian ships) in steaming to Milos with the French protected cruiser Bugeaud, flagship of the International Squadron's overall commander, Rear Admiral Édouard Pottier. At Milos, they rendezvoused with Prince George of Greece and Denmark aboard his yacht. After Prince George boarded Bugeaud on 20 December, Gerzog Edinburgski, Francesco Morosini, and Revenge escorted Bugeaud to Crete, where Prince George disembarked on 21 December 1898 to take office as the High Commissioner of an autonomous Cretan State under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire, bringing the Cretan uprising to an end. The International Squadron then dissolved. Gerzog Edinburgski was used as a training vessel beginning in the early 1900s. She visited Plymouth in September 1902, and was in Brest the following month. She was converted to a second-line minelayer in 1908. The ship could carry 600 mines and was renamed Onega. She was hulked in 1915 as a depot ship and renamed № 4, Barrikada \ «Баррикада», № 9) after the Bolshevik Revolution. She was broken up in 1949. (en)
