This book is dedicated to the construction and combat service of "Admiral Makarov", "Bayan" and "Pallada", which by the willful decision of the Manager of the Maritime Ministry Admiral F.K. Avelan repeated the type of Arthurian "Bayan", the only armored cruiser, with honor endured the entire siege of the fortress.
The need to quickly replenish the fleet in the absence of time to design left no choice for the prototype, although the war confirmed the irrationality of single-gun turrets, and in general the project of the last century looked archaic. Nevertheless, the history of cruiser construction of the first postwar years went on a second round. On their shoulders lay the assistance to the Italians in the earthquake in Messina and peaceful training campaigns, and with the outbreak of war - the inevitable improvisations with the strengthening of artillery armament. The book, written by a well-known Soviet and Russian author on the basis of documents of the Russian Navy State Archive, is illustrated with numerous photographs, drawings and schemes and is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the history of domestic shipbuilding and the Navy.
