The Gangut-class could also be called the Sevastopol-class. While all 4 ships were laid down on the same day, Sevastopol was the first to be completed, followed by Poltava, Petropavlovsk, and then Gangut. Likewise, Sevastopol was also the first to be launched, with Gangut also being the last to be launched.

Kinda weird considering that a similar case happened with the Furutaka-class; Kako was laid down first but Furutaka gave the class its name.

So it is somewhat accurate to call them the Sevastopol-class (again, because Sevastopol was the first to be completed), but then again, Wikipedia calls them the Gangut-class, so take your pick.
