Japan defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War?
Japan definitely won at sea; destroying 2 out of 3 Russian battleship fleets. But it should be said that the Russian battleship fleet under the command of Admiral Z. Rozhestvensky, conducted a charge into Admiral Togo's battleline in the same manner as did the British Charge of their Light Brigade in 1854 at Balaklava, during the Crimean War. At least Rozhestvensky charged, instead of turning their tails to the enemy...as two fleets would later do in a later war. On land, Japan was feeling the strain, running low on both manpower and funds. On land, Russia was in it's element, and it was only time that Russia needed to gain the strength needed to win. But Revolution at home also took it's toll on the Russians, and Japan & Russia both called it quits, Russia accepting a Japanese victory.
War stories during the russo-japanese war?
The best English translated books are Russian: 1. Capt. Vladimir Semenoff-"Battle of Tsushima" published in about 1907 2. Capt. Vladimir Semenoff-"Rasplata" (The Price of Blood) published about 1909 3. Priboy-"The Battle of Tsushima". Notes published by the widow of battleship crewman Priboy who perished at Tsushima. Possibly published in the 1930s. These men lost the war...so they don't pull any punches (no reason to lie). They tell it like it was. US Civil War, WWI, WWII, all have their stories...but when it comes to a modern (steel engine powered navies) naval story/battle...there is not one to compare with Tsushima; it was the only time in history that steel battleship fleets fought a decisive sea action. The Russian Admiral charged the Japanese Admiral's battleline...to destruction yes, but a glorious death. Not a cowardly fleeing action conducted by the two combatants in WWI-which shall not be named.
How come the USA did not see Japanese forces coming in the attack on Pearl Harbor sooner?
Two waves had been sent into Pearl harbor demolishing the battleline and airforces present. Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo cautiously (and perhaps mistakenly) decided not to launch a 3rd wave to destroy the oil tanks and drydocks at Pearl. His concerns were the increasing casualties he incurred in the 2nd wave and the still missing US carriers which posed a threat to his fleet. The most important thing to examine is that if the American administration in fact knew about the attack on Pearl Harbor, then is it not a huge calculated risk that the Japanese would not conduct a "third wave," completely incapacitating the base at Pearl for use in the Pacific Theatre?
What was the reasons for Japan bombing Pearl Harbor?
The Japanese hoped to secure their Eastern flank as they launched offensives into the South Pacific. They primarily wanted to destroy the U.S. aircraft carriers with the battleships being a close 2nd on their list. If the Americans were still able, and daring/stupid enough, to send a fleet West to try to stop the Japanese offensives it was expected it would be whatever was left after the Pearl harbor attack. The Japanese would have faced it with their intact battleline and Mobile fleet of fast carriers with the purpose of utterly destroying it.AnswerThe reason for the attack on Pearl Harbor was so that Japan could hold the Pacific ocean for the invasion of the USA. AnswerThe Japanese knew that the only way to defeat the Americans was to wipe out their entire fleet before they started preparing for war. Admiral Yamamoto said that if they did not destroy the entire fleet in Pearl Harbor that day it would mean defeat for Japan in the upcoming war. Therefore their plan was to completely destroy the U.S. Naval fleet. However they did not because two of the U.S.'s air craft carriers were not in Pearl Harbor. The Japanese had not calculated this and therefore they considered it a good decision.

Word battleship orginiate?
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.

US cruisers were named after US cities; US destroyers were named after US Sailors or Marines; US submarines were named after fish. US fleet & light carriers were named after Revolutionary War battles or ships. US escort carriers, also known as jeep carriers were named after US bays.
What are the famous cases of the us navy?
The most famous classes (of warships)? Without a doubt...the Fletcher class destroyers of WWII. 2nd place would go to the USS Yorktown class aircraft carriers (of which only the USS Enterprise survived...only to be scrapped in 1959). 3rd place would go to the Gato class US subs. It wouldn't be fair to bring up the US battleships...all they did was get sunk at Pearl Harbor, or have a surrender ceremony on their decks. US battleships fought no decisive battleship fleet actions (Leyte Gulf & Admiral Oldendorf's engagement may have been the last battleship to battleship fight...but it certainly wasn't a great clash of dreadnaughts...as the IJN battleships had been chewed up by PT boats and destroyers before they even reached Oldendorf's battleline, and then it was only TWO Japanese battleships).

Did the strategy of the Battle of Jutland waste military resources?
Strategy and Tactics are PLANS! Strategy is the big picture; Tactics is the little picture (a small part of the strategy). Or as Napoleon stated; Strategy is out of cannon range, tactics is within cannon range. NO plan is good if it is NOT executed well. A perfect or good plan is worthless if the leaders are poor at it, or cowardly. Luck has a lot to do with war too; sometimes a poor plan turns into victory and a good plan turns into a defeat. Jutland was a good plan, but their leaders (Jellicoe and Beatty vs Scheer and Hipper) were scared. It's perfectly acceptable to be afraid in battle, that's normal. But to let those emotions take control of a leader's command and control is not acceptable on the battlefield. The German commander tried to escape (twice) and finally succeeded. The British commander was afraid of a torpedo attack and turned tail. Then he got lost trying to re-establish contact. Both sides got away...never to duel again. Jutland is known as the "Battle of Lost Opportunities." Historians often ridicule Admiral Rozhestvensky of the Russian Navy during the Battle of Tsushima in 1905. Stating that he rashly charged his battleships into Admiral Togo's battleline. But the Russian commander did what the German & British commanders did not do at Jutland...he didn't run from a fight, the Russian charged! As a result of Rozhestvensky's courage (under devastating 12 inch gunfire none the less-his battleship was sunk), Tsushima went down in history as the only DECISIVE modern battleship fleet action in the annals of naval warfare. Whether he won or lost, was not important, it's how he fought that counted; it was the battle that made history! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good job but it does not actually answer the question. To actually answer the question, no, it did not. The battle was completely necessary to take out the German High Fleet. -By Runehally16
