Believe it or not, the Vice Admiral was probably the only reason anything got done, because describing the crew of these ships as “randos” doesn’t quite cover it. These were peasant conscripts from inland, many of whom had NEVER SEEN THE OPEN OCEAN. No wonder they were so freaked out all the time.
Yeah a lot of these guys had no idea what was happening. Imagine finding out you're got on a trip around the world I'd want a parrot
The Kamchatka, one of the most successful ships to serve for the Japanese navy
While still serving on the Russian side.
"Did you see Japanese torpedoboats??" - Kamchatka probably.
"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE NORMAL?!?"
*(Kamchatka Screeching)*
Drachinifels The Russian 2nd Pacific Squadron - Voyage of the Damned is of course much too long to react to. But 42 hilarious minutes you won't regret spending, if you think this one is funny,
Aka the voyage of the Kamchatka

@Sakkra1993 Omg where, where? Fire all guns in every direction!!!
When I did my military service in the early 90s, we had the first official fleet visit from Russia after the cold war. They came with a Krivak III missile cruiser to Tromsø. There was to be a laying down of a wreath on the war memorial on May 17th(our constitution day, which we celebrate instead of our independence on June 7th) by a Russian Vice Admiral, so protocol required a 48-man guard of honour. Our coastal fort was the only navy unit with any real number of soldiers around(our now defunct Coast Artillery was administratively part of the Navy), so we were to mount half the guard, while the Russians mounted the other half. My platoon was deemed best in close order drill, so we were sent to Tromsø, while the other platoon was sent to the local town to participate in the parade there.
At the laying down of the wreath we did the whole guard spiel with "present arms", etc. with blanco'd webbing and gaiters, while the Russian guards did nothing else but slap their heels together. Afterwards we got to got to see their ship and I talked to one of my platoon members who had been there since the day before in a meet-and-greet with some of the Russian crew. Only the officers spoke any English, and one of them asked him which songs we sang to keep warm during the winter(!).
When we visited their ships we noted that some had a decoration in the form of a ship on their chest, and when we asked what it was, they told us it was for completing a 6-month cruise in the arctic, but the decoration was only given to those that had distinguished themselves during the cruise.
Wtf, bro. It seems that bullshitery was still a thing on some part of Russia's navy LOL

What's really ironic is how many parallels there are between this expedition and Putin's invasion of Ukraine: Arrogant, delusional belief that Russia was a mighty, invincible power facing a pathetically weak opponent. Poorly trained and unmotivated crews. Outmoded and poorly maintained equipment. Huge logistical problems. Serious communication issues. Complete miscalculation of the international ramifications of the expedition. One of the consequences of Russia losing the Russo-Japanese war was that the Czar lost a lot of credibility and that contributed to his fall a few years later. One can only hope that bit of history will repeat as well.
Same thing happened in Finland during the winter war
Many of the ships on both sides were built in Newcastle Upon Tyne in England. The Japanese ships were newer , while most of the Russian ones were obsolete
With the most modern ones being retrofitted nobility ships with guns randomly bolted on with no armor
Whiskey on the rocks - U137. Russian Sub gets beached near a major Swedish naval base. Always gave me a laugh.
Japan was buying ships in Britain and had officers and sailors there waiting for the new torpedo boats - russians expected them to be ready at aaaaaany moment now
"Riley Ace of Spies" is an excellent series on early 20th century espionage. There is a segment on Port Arthur. Part of the Russian fleet had a ship carrying all the pay money for the military, in gold. This ship was sunk in the battle, and was found again in 2018, 200 tons of gold coin and bullion, or 9.6 billion dollars today. Not BitCoin in 1905.
Time for the mandatory "Do YoU sEe ToRpEdO bOaTs ?"
LOL! Fishermen can be hard targets to kill. Their boat moves when u shoot at them and their nets are full of holes...
Russians were using an explosive compound that was reliable in use but terrible in storage, so by the time they arrived to Tsushima Straight, a third of their ammo stores were duds. Meanwhile, the Japanese were using a different compound that stored well but wasn’t as reliable in use, and a number of their shells went off in the barrels
Correct, as I recall about 1/4 of the Japanese deaths were due to a turret explosion
It is one of the most hilarious war campaigns by any country. Too bad too many died but it is simply unbelievable.
Problems always start at the top...
@Cos shit always rolls downhill....
One giant „BRUH“ moment
There's even more that wasn't mentioned. Notably the Opium cigarettes and the state of the skips. Oh, and how could I forget just how many of the headaches were caused by the Kamchatka?
Though apparently the admiral was actually the best choice for the job.
Oh, and the officer who went mad, wandering the decks at night, asking people "Do you fear death?"
@@weldonwin And he was half dressed if I remember correctly.
Also the British plan to sink the entire Russian battlegroup with just four battleships because they felt it would be unchivalrous to use more.
@@CruelestChrisNah, that was just one british admiral and he got told to stop being stupid when he voiced it.
@@magni5648
No he didn't. That was literally the plan.
Oh and also they weren’t trained but on the other hand it’s hard to train when you don’t have warm water ports.
Sometimes you are so guiet and sit so still that I start to wonder if my internet just went out! 😂
Ahh! Ninjas!!!
CONNOR YOU HAVE TO REACT TO SAM O NELLA ACADEMY
I'm surprised his name never came up
It's kind of amazing seeing that the same Russian incompetence carries on to this day
I m amazed this idiocy havent made into a movie 😅
well Russia's warm water docks are in the Crimea.
Surely this is an episode of Mr Beanski?
