    Russia: For when losing your flag ship to an enemy that doesn't even have a navy and you, somehow, feel it's less embaressing to say that it WASN'T sunk by the enemy but, rather, an accident... And it isn't even a blip on your long list of blunders.

    If you're new to the strange tale of the 2nd Pacific Squadron of the Imperial Russian Navy, Drachinifel has a somewhat more coherent take on the same subject elsewhere on RUclips. But I can't really blame the narrator of this video for yukking it up. It's the kind of story where you either laugh or cry.

    In the battle the young Japanese midshipman Takano Isoroku lost two fingers. Had he lost three, he would have been invalided out. So he went on to become Yamamoto Isoroku, the architect of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

    Nice video there are very few things in history that can top the disastrous voyage of the Second Baltic Fleet I'm already pretty familiar with it thanks to BlueJay's own amazing video about it but I did not know that he left out details like the opium laced cigarettes and Admiral Rozhestvensky ditching the captain that was criticizing him in Spain who got revenge on him by backing up the fleet with the worst ships that he could get his hands on because to him having a pissing contest was way more important then winning a fucking war and after what happened to the Moskva back in April I can see that very few things have changed since 1904

    • @johncunningham6928

      Another fun little detail: One of the two ships that got friendly-fired at Doggerbank was also the same ship that then got friendly-fired again by Kamchatka off of Madagascar. Said ship? The cruiser Aurora. Yes, the one that would go on to fire the first shots of the October Revolution.
      Also, funny little detail about the battle of Tsushima? Aboard the bridge of one of the japanese cruisers there, a young japanese staff lieutenant lost two fingers to shell fragments. If he had lost a third one, he would have been forced to retire from military service according to regulations. Which would have been quite the little butterfly effect.
      Why, you ask? Because the name of that young lieutenant was Yamamoto Isoroku.

    Hi! I am from Ukraine, thank you for such a fun graphic story, which even in such a difficult time made me laugh. These Orcs, also known as the russians, do not change...You can already make similar stories about current events.

      with all respect you were part of these orcs in the past and you cant denie it . you fought side by side in the crimean war , you fought side by side in ww2 (even tough a portion of you joined the axis) and you both spilled your blood for that land . millions of russians died for crimea and ukraine in these wars , you were both aiming your nukes on the rest of the world ready to destroy it or die trying to defend it together like brothers . you both had nukes for the common cause . so dont split your history from theirs just because you are independent now . even the Kievan Rus is a Rus/Russian and dont be offended by this , many times in the past that state was known as Russia of Kieve , so dont denie it , dont change it , you are one people and one nation .
      you are like kosovo and serbia, like iraq and kuweit, like the 2 koreas , like morocco and algeria , like idian and pakistan . 1 history , 2 different mentalities .
      see your actual war as a civil war , dont hate everything about them because when you do it you do hate yourselvs too because your history was shared troughout most of your existence .

      @@LauftFafa You know very little about our history, Ukraine is a descendant of Kievan Rus, Cossack Hetmanate and Ukrainian People's Republic. Russia is a descendant of the Golden Horde and Muscovy.
      You can read how Western researchers in the 15th-17th centuries described Ukrainians and Russians. Ukrainians were already described as literate, tidy and freedom-loving at that time. At the same time, the Russians were slaves, illiterate, lived in the swamp and could not use a fork.
      The Russians are not even ethnically Slavic, they descended from Finno-Ugric peoples and tribes such as the Merya and the Moksha.
      Enough to read Russian fakes, we have never been brothers with them and fought almost our entire history. The goal of Ukrainians is to live and prosper among equal European nations, at the same time the goal of Russia is to drag everyone into its swamp of degradation.

      @@LauftFafa Russia has the same relation to Kievan Rus as the Roma to Rome. The old ethnonym of Ukrainians is Ruthenians, but Russians are Muscovites. They simply stole our name in the 18th century, when Ukraine-Rus was occupied by Muscovy. And that is why the Ruthenian intelligentsia had to adopt a new ethnonym - Ukrainians, which came from the name of the territory - Ukraine.

    In the night, thick fog blanketed the straits, giving the Russians an advantage. At 02:45 on 27 May Japan Standard Time (JST), the Japanese auxiliary cruiser Shinano Maru observed three lights on what appeared to be a vessel on the distant horizon and closed to investigate. These lights were from the Russian hospital ship Orel, which, in compliance with the rules of war, had continued to burn them.[34] At 04:30, Shinano Maru approached the vessel, noting that she carried no guns and appeared to be an auxiliary. The Orel mistook the Shinano Maru for another Russian vessel and did not attempt to notify the fleet. Instead, she signaled to inform the Japanese ship that there were other Russian vessels nearby. The Shinano Maru then sighted the shapes of ten other Russian ships in the mist. The Russian fleet had been discovered, and any chance of reaching Vladivostok undetected had disappeared
