Baltic Fleet Doomed By Expert Naval Analysis
Naval experts say the Russian Baltic fleet cannot reach Port Arthur or any safe haven from its home base. They argue 13 000 miles of sea, lack of courag e stations, and Japan’s superior force will trap and sink ships before they reach any target. The fleet lists seven battleships, two armored cruisers, four unprotected cruisers, twelve destroyers, ten auxiliaries, two repair ships and several colliers. Japan’s battleships and cruisers vastly outnumber and outgun the Russians, who will be met and defeated long before reaching Japanese shores.
