Russian Battleships and Cruisers of the Russo-Japanese War by Mark Lardas Pdf

This book examines the major warships of the Imperial Russian Navy which participated in the Russo-Japanese War. The focus is on the battleships, coastal defence warships, and cruisers of the Pacific Squadron and Baltic Squadron that fought during the war. It discusses in detail their design and development between the years of 1885 and 1905, concentrating particularly on battleships and cruisers. The book explores, in depth, the mutually influential relationship between Russian and foreign warship design, as Russia progressed from a reliance on foreign designs and shipyards towards an ability to produce its own influential ships, such as the Novik. The title also outlines the gripping operational history of the Russian warships which participated in the Russo-Japanese war, tracing their activity before and during the combat, as well as the post-war fate of those ships which were bombarded, scuttled, captured, or salvaged. Packed with contemporary photography and full-colour illustrations, this title offers a detailed and definitive guide to the design, development, and destiny of the Russian warships which battled the Japanese in the Eastern seas.

Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... secondary one only--to be played by torpedoboats. What more do we want? Why do we seek reasons for putting off till to-morrow that which the interests of our country forbid us to defer for an hour? I will not seek to carry my arguments any further; doubtless, by waiting we might fully study at our leisure questions of secondary importance and make great improvements in many matters of detail; but we must remember that we have not time to spare for dilatory proceedings; we must at once draw the chief lesson from this war and not linger over useless details. We refuse to note the principal lesson to be drawn from this war. Why has our fleet been annihilated? Was it because our vessels were weaker than those of the Japanese, because they were of older construction and, on that ground, inferior? No, a thousand times no! Our fleet was destroyed firstly, because it was numerically weaker and also, further, because its ships, instead of being concentrated, were scattered about in different directions; and, finally, because it was in no way ready for war, had made none of the necessary arrangements, and had not over it admirals worthy of commanding it! What we have to do. You will not yield to the force of evidence and thus are ready to fall into the same errors in the future as in the past! How is it possible not to feel profoundly despondent on seeing your attitude? Trifles and futilities must be put aside; every effort must be made to become, as soon as possible, stronger than the enemy, to maintain our squadron in perfect order, and not to amuse ourselves with ceaseless attempts to perfect apparatus of quite secondary importance to our ships. Let us rather endeavour to instil into the minds of our officials and our crews that virile energy, ..

The Russian Navy in the Russo-Japanese War (Classic Reprint) by Captain N. Klado Pdf

Excerpt from The Russian Navy in the Russo-Japanese War In translating this work I have endeavoured to do justice both to the author and to the British Public. I have kept to the author's text as much as possible, and though he has said many things about my country, which I as an Englishman do not agree with, I have, nevertheless, translated the bare, unpolished statements in order that my countrymen may know what is being said about them. In one of his letters to me, Captain Klado frankly acknowledges that his writings may not be agreeable reading for an Englishman, but expresses the opinion that in a free country one ought to hear all the critics.

The Tide at Sunrise by Denis Warner,Peggy Warner Pdf

The Russo-Japanese War was fought in the waters of the Yellow Sea and the Straits of Tsushima that divide Japan from Korea, and in the mountains of Manchuria, borrowed without permission from China. It was the first war to be fought with modern weapons. The Japanese had fought the Chinese at sea in 1894 and had gained a foothold in Manchuria by taking control of Port Authur. In 1895, however, Japan was forced to abandon its claims by the Russian fleet's presence in the Straits of Tsushima. Tsar Nicholas had obtained a window to the East for his empire and Japan had been humiliated. Tensions between the two countries would rise inexorably over the next decade. Around the world, no one doubted that little Japan would be no match for the mighty armies of Tsar Nicholas II. Yet Russia was in an advanced state of decay, the government corrupt and its troops inept and demoralized. Japan, meanwhile, was emerging from centuries of feudal isolation and becoming an industrial power, led by zealous nationalist warlords keen to lead the Orient to victory over the oppressive West. From the opening surprise attack on the Russian fleet at Port Authur in 1904, the Japanese out-fought and out-thought the Russians. This is a definitive account of one of the pivotal conflicts of the twentieth century whose impact was felt around the world.

The A to Z of the Russo-Japanese War by Rotem Kowner Pdf

Every war leaves an imprint in history, but few have had such a pervasive impact in so many respects as the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Politically, it fatally weakened the Russian Empire while allowing Japan to follow more dangerous paths. Diplomatically, it shook the power balance in Europe and reshaped it in the form of two coalitions, leading to World War I. With regard to the art of warfare, it emphasized the use of trench warfare and machine guns on land and the deployment of battleships and the use of torpedoes at sea. Yet, despite its importance at the time, it has become very much a forgotten war. The A to Z of the Russo-Japanese War provides considerable breadth and depth of coverage based on Japanese, Russian, and Western sources. The breadth is accomplished through a wide-ranging introduction, a detailed chronology and an extensive bibliography. The depth comes in the hundreds of entries on military and political leaders, major battles and lesser encounters, tactics and strategy as well as the weaponry and of course the causes and consequences. The result is the first major reference work on the Russo-Japanese War in English and the largest in any language.

Russian Imperialism and Naval Power by Nicholas Papastratigakis Pdf

From 1904-1905, Russia and Japan were locked in conflict arising from rival imperial ambitions in the Far East. Nicholas Papastratigakis offers an integrated analysis of Russian naval strategy in the decade before this Russo-Japanese War, in which the Russians suffered catastrophic defeat. He seeks to determine the extent to which their defeat can be attributed to flawed Tsarist naval strategy in the region. Rooted in rich primary resources from Russian, French and British archives, the book sheds new light on Russia's conduct in international affairs in the pre-World War I era. He places Russian naval strategy in the broader context of Russian military strategy at the turn of the century, and of imperialism and 'navalism' in general. This book will be of enormous interest to scholars and students of naval, military, imperial and Russian history.

The Imperial Japanese Navy of the Russo-Japanese War by Mark Stille Pdf

When the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyed Russia's battle fleet during the Russo-Japanese War, it marked the emergence of Japan as one of the world's major naval powers. Japan's navy had been built up over just two decades, with the IJN acquiring a fleet of modern foreign-built warships. Coupled with the IJN's leadership and high levels of training, this proved enough to destroy the fleet of one of the world's historic naval powers. This book explains in concise detail the IJN's fleet of 1904?1905, from its battleships and armored cruisers to the torpedo boats that launched 'the first great torpedo attack in history,' and outlines the history of the naval campaign against the Russian fleet.
