Admiral Kornilov was a
Russian Imperial Navy. She was presumably named for Admiral Vladimir Alexeyevich Kornilov
.
The ship was laid down in 1886 and launched in 1887 at
ihp
and a top speed of 17.6 knots (32.6 km/h). She had two shafts and a bunker capacity of 1,000 tons of coal. The crew numbered 479 men.
Admiral Kornilov was unique to the Russian Navy but resembled the large protected cruisers Tage and Amiral Cécille built at the same time for the French Navy. These were unusually long cruisers at the time, although surpassed in 1892 by the British Blake class.
The ship was used as a torpedo training ship from 1908 and was stricken from the active list in 1911.
