She was designed as a long-range commerce raider and servedas such during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05. When the war broke out, she was based in Vladivostokmuch success. Gromoboi, with the other armoured cruisers of the Vladivostok Cruiser Squadron,attempted to rendezvous in the Strait of Tsushima with the main portion of the Russian PacificFleet sailing from Port Arthur in August 1904. The Fleet was delayed, and the squadron returnedto port alone. On the return, the squadron encountered a Japanese squadron of four armouredcruisers blocking their passage to base. The Japanese sank the oldest Russian ship, Rurik, andrepaired within two months. Gromoboi ran aground immediately after completing her repairs andwas out of action for four months. Three months after the damage from the grounding incidentwas repaired, she struck a mine, but successfully returned to port. Her armament was reinforcedwhile under repair, but she saw no further action during the war. Gromoboi was transferred tothe Russian Baltic Fleet after the end of the war and began a lengthy refit that was completedduring the war. She was placed into reserve in 1918 and sold to a German company in 1922 forscrapping. She was forced aground near Liepaja during a storm en route to Germany and was scrappedin place."
