Who was the Japanese admiral in WW2?
The greatest Japanese Naval Commander is Admiral Togo, whose Battleship Fleet defeated the Russian Battleship Fleet at the, "Battle of Tsushima", on 27 May 1905. Admiral Togo, is the ONLY naval commander in history, to have won a DECISIVE modern BATTLESHIP FLEET action. Admiral Zinovy Rozhestvensky, commander of the Russian Battle fleet at Tsushima, is the only other naval commander in HISTORY, to have fought a DECISIVE (steel battleships) BATTLESHIP FLEET ACTION! Note* The Battle of Jutland (WWI, 1916) was NOT decisive. Individual battleship engagements during WWII are NOT "fleet" engagements.
Who was Japan's greatest naval hero destroying the mighty Russian Black Fleet in the Straits of Tsushima in 1905 during the Russo-Japanese War?
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.
What is the length of a battleship?
During history's only decisive steel battleship fleet action (Tsushima 1905) the Russian Battleships of the Borodino class were 397 feet long and mounted four 12" guns in two turrets, twelve 6" guns in six turrets, and twenty 75mm guns in twenty gun ports.
Why was the battle of Jutland indecisive?
Because the British Navy Battleships were UNABLE to regain contact with the German Fleet Battleships to engage them with their guns (they turned at least twice to avoid battle). The Germans sped back into friendly port(s). The Battleships (Dreadnaughts) had missed their opportunity for decisive battle; the main fight had been between "Battlecruisers" (Less Armored Warships). The only "Decisive" battleship fleet action ever fought was at Tsushima in May 1905. In that fight, the Russian Battleship Fleet did the complete opposite of what the German Battleship Fleet did at Jutland in 1916...the Russians charged directly into the Japanese Battleship Line; the Japanese Battleships crossed the Russian's "T".
What are the turning points of the russo-japanese war?
"The" turning point, was history's ONLY decisive BATTLESHIP "fleet" engagement ever fought: "The Battle of Tsushima", 27 May 1905.
