Ships of the Line, or "Ships on the Battle Line". A warship serving on the "Battleline" was a "Battleship." Battleships were not designed, built, nor intended to fight alone...they were designed and built to fight on the "Battleline" along side their sister battleships. Secondly, the battleline was intended to engage in DECISIVE battle with another nation's battleline; thus deciding who would win the war. And it's only happened once (with steel engine powered battleships): Battle of Tsushima 1905.

The Potemkin was a battleship stationed with the Black Sea Fleet. Russia's other two fleets; the Pacific Fleet and the Baltic Fleet (re-designated the 2nd Pacific Fleet while enroute to Tsushima) were destroyed during the Battles of Port Arthur and Tsushima. When word reached the Black Sea Fleet, including the battleship Potemkin, this news ignited the already tensed up sailors into a mutiny. The enlisted sailors over powered their officers and commandered the ship across the sea, where a long sea chase ensued. It was eventually captured, and some of the mutineers were shot.

What is the only modern battleship Flagship that ever fought a decisive Fleet Action?
None. Tsushima was the only time. Missed opportunites occurred in WW1. WW2 was dominated by the Aircraft Carriers (Coral Sea, Midway, etc.). Agreed. "Decisive" is the operative word here. And how far back does "modern" go? There have been many instances in which the battleship was king, but except for Tsushima none decided the outcome of a war. Is this a trick question? HMS Victory at Trafalgar? If so, that conflict was decided on land ten years later, at a place called Waterloo. USS New York at Santiago? No, still not decisive. No one else has responded, so if 1906 is considered modern, the prize must go to the battleship Mikasa on which Admiral Togo flew his flag at the Battle of Tsushima.
