Well, Jerry, and which ship might that have
been? I'd have to dig a bit but I believe that
the leading battleship was not sunk or even
severely damaged but went on to surrender two
days later, later to be returned to the Tsar in
1915. But I'd have to dig. If you give me the
name of the ship, I can tell you a bit more.
