The Russian torpedo boat Ismail was the first ship in the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet to join the mutiny of the battleship Potemkin in 1905. It was the Potemkin's escort and had on board a complement of three officers, 20 sailors, two 37mm guns and two torpedo launchers. The Ismail brought rotten meat aboard the Potemkin in June 1905, an incident which sparked the mutiny. The commander of the Ismail was Lieutenant Pyotr Klodt von Yurgensburg, a 41-year-old Russian nobleman.
