and Jemtchug escaped during the<br />
night <strong>of</strong> the 27th and found Manila<br />
and internment. Izumrud simply<br />
fled the scene and ran aground at<br />
the entrance <strong>of</strong> the Russian port <strong>of</strong><br />
Vladimir Bay in Siberia, and was<br />
scuttled where she lay. Other vessels<br />
simply sank from their injuries.<br />
The remainder <strong>of</strong> the warships,<br />
large and small, either fled into<br />
internment or were captured by<br />
Togo and. ultimately repaired and<br />
added to the overwhelmingly victorious<br />
Japanese Fleet which lost<br />
only two small T.B Ds and suffered<br />
no major or crippling damage to<br />
any <strong>of</strong> his large ships<br />
During the night, the Buiny ran out<br />
<strong>of</strong> coal and Rozhestvensky and his<br />
staff transferred to her sister Biedovoi<br />
which, in company with other<br />
Russian units, was making for Vladivostok<br />
She was captured the next<br />
morning (28th) and Rozhestvensky<br />
went into hospitalised internment<br />
at Sasebo Naval Base in Japan,<br />
where he was treated with the<br />
utmost respect and where he was<br />
visited, as an equal, by Togo himself<br />
Upon his return to Russia after<br />
the war. Rozhestvensky found, not<br />
unnaturally, that he was to be the<br />
scapegoat Vet. as befitting his<br />
rank and past achievements, he was<br />
dealt with gently and was quietly<br />
retired on a gene r ous pension.<br />
Nebogat<strong>of</strong>f and Rozhestvensky's<br />
Chief <strong>of</strong> Staff, together with certain<br />
other <strong>of</strong>ficers, were Court-<br />
<strong>Mar</strong>tialled and sentenced to be shot.<br />
Only the direct intervention <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Tsar prevented the executions, however<br />
ail served long terms <strong>of</strong><br />
imprisonment.<br />
Russia did not regain a <strong>Navy</strong> <strong>of</strong> consequence<br />
for over four decades. The<br />
<strong>Navy</strong> <strong>of</strong> Imperial Japan rose in stature<br />
over the years to become, ultimately.<br />
an integral part <strong>of</strong> a System<br />
that required the combined efforts<br />
<strong>of</strong> several maior nations to. once<br />
again, dim the flame <strong>of</strong> conquest.<br />
The Battle <strong>of</strong> Tsu-Shima was<br />
fought at the only period in history<br />
when the steam-powered, iron-clad<br />
line-<strong>of</strong>-battleship was supreme and<br />
before aircraft and submarinelaunched<br />
torpedoes seriously<br />
Sponxircd b\<br />
Russian torpado boat Biedovoi .i.iar ship to Buiny<br />
threatened its existence. Togo and<br />
Rozhestvensky were, to quote<br />
Richard Hough: "the only Admirals<br />
ever to lead their Fleets into a fullscale<br />
gunnery battle. Tsu-Shima<br />
was the ironclad's finest hour: the<br />
one occasion in its brief history<br />
when it fulfilled its functions<br />
without interference"<br />
