 After the February Revolution , the condition of the ships was assessed on 28 April 1917 . The ship that was furthest along was the Ismail : her hull , engines , and boilers were around 65 % complete , and her armour was 36 % complete . Her turrets , however , were not expected to be completed until 1919 . The Congress of Shipyard Workers decided to continue work on the Izmail in mid @-@ 1917 , but only to provide jobs . The Provisional Government halted all work on Borodino , Kinburn , and Navarin on 24 October 1917 , and the Soviet Supreme Naval College ordered work on Izmail halted on 14 December 1917 .
