Pancernik "z drugiej ręki"

Dzisiaj zagadka:) Otóż, w związku z trwającą wojną, nasza admiralicja jeszcze w 1904 r. postanowiła pozyskać jakieś okręty z drugiej ręki, celem wzmocnienia szykowanej do rejsu na Hajnan kolejnej eskadry. Było to tym bardziej uzasadnione, że jak pamiętamy - na zakupy, i to spore – wybrała się Japonia. Stąd i my coś zakupiliśmy. Ostatecznie zakup doszedł do skutku na początku następnego roku, zbyt późno, by okręt zdążył wziąć udział w wojnie. A zagadką jest: cóż to za okręt? Myślę, że odpowiedź nie powinna sprawić Wam trudności:)
