Admiral
Ushakov
was a prototype of the series of three ships built between 1893 and
1899.
Admiral
Ushakov
spent years 1896-1904 on the Baltic Sea. In January of 1905, ship was
reassigned to the Far East and joined Admiral Nebogatov's II Squadron in
April of
1905. Together with Admiral Rozestwenny's I squadron,
Admiral
Ushakov
took part in the ill-fated Tsushima
Battle on May 27-28, 1905. Ship was seriously damaged by cruisers
Iwate and
Yakumo. On May 28,
Admiral Ushakov was again
intercepted by cruisers Azuma
and Yakumo.
She was hit again with six 203mm and
nine 152mm shells. Despite the hopeless situation and Japanese offer to
surrender the ship, none of the Russian sailors left the battle
stations.
To avoid the ship falling into enemy’s hands, Admiral Ushakov
was scuttled at 6:10pm on May 28, 1905. |
