The "Mighty Russian Black Sea Fleet" wasn't in the war. It was the only fleet to survive the war; blocked into the Black Sea by treaty. Admiral Togo defeated the Russian battlewagons at Tsushima on 27 May 1905. But it was a good fight! Admiral Rozhestvensky "charged" his battleships into Togo's line, at least he fought! Another sea battle, which can go un-said, in 1916...the commanders turned and fled...so much for that battle! Note: Rozhestvensky commanded the "Baltic Fleet" later redesignated the "2nd Pacific Fleet/Squadron." The 1st Pacific Fleet was knocked out action at Port Arthur in 1904.
