I'll tell you what really surprised me, a 21+ knot top speed from a ship that only had two four cylinder triple expansion steam engines. Yes, she was a light ship at roughly 9,500 tons, but when I heard that she could only muster around 14,000 shp I figured 14-16 knots max. That's truly impressive for the time in my opinion. RMS Titanic, which was designed around 7 years after this ship, and introduced roughly 12 years after, had basically the same engine arrangement (with an added low pressure direct coupled steam turbine for the center propeller), and her four cylinder triple expansion steam engines produced 15,000 shp EACH with another 14,000 shp being produced from the low pressure steam turbine, so 44,000 shp from three propellers and coming in at around 50,000 GRT ran at close to 22.5 knots at full ahead. Granted, Olympic and Titanic could manage 23 knots at their true full power setting, but nobody expected that to be a possibility. Oh, and obviously I know that the Olympic Class steam engines were MUCH larger than the Japanese steam engines that were built for their ships.

How many warships of that period can boast an active service life of 45 years? That's an impressive, and very busy, career.

Unfortunately all warships and submarines suffer a sad ending except the lucky ones who've been preserved as museum exhibits. its a good chance you could be driving around in metal that has been recycled from these legends

Yes just look at HMS Fearless and HMS Intrepid a sad end to 2 proud ships that served when they were called upon

HMCS Haida was only saved from the razor blade factory thanks to a typical Canadian comedy skit. The guy who saved her was interviewed before he passed, it’s on KZbin, and it’s totally freaking hilarious. Call to wife: Honey, I’ve mortgaged the house but we now own a quarter share in a destroyer…

I hope they got the quarter that was under water so you don't have to paint it every year

@@Exsubmariners Heh. As I said, typically Canadian comedy but absolutely real. If you haven’t visited her, she’s on display in Hamilton harbour. I think she holds the record for destroyed trains, and once sailed up river in Korea to carry out an attack.

You are showing the wrong Rurik: in the photo is the new one built after the war and completed in 1908, the old one sunk at Ulsan was completed in 1895

The ship shown at 8:17 is not the Imperial Russian Navy ship Rurik that was lost at Ulsan, as that vessel is the 1908 commissioned Baltic Fleet Rurik (built by Vickers at Barrow in Furness UK, and Broken up in 1925 in the Soviet Union. The vessel that was in the Russian Pacific Cruiser Squadron was the 1895 commissioned Rurik built by the Baltic Works in St Petersburg from 1890 to 1895, she was scuttled after action with Japanese cruisers at the battle of Ulsan, after taking damage to her stem which wrecked her steering and propulsion. The 1890 Rurik was a very different vessel from the 1906 Rurik, the 1890 ship was built at the time when a mixed sail and steam propulsion was still a thing, although by the time of her loss she had been reworked in Vladivostok by removal of her Barque rigging, a plan to modernise her boilers never materialised, so she would always be slow at 18 knots probably why she was caught by the Japanese cruisers at Ulsan. Her only claim to fame was she caused the British to panic and build the large Cruisers Powerful and Terrible in response to her, and the British ships were design dogs and a waste of taxpayer's money.

That was a sad ending to a great ship.

You have to give it to the Japanese on this battle...they not only showed up for this battle with superior ships and weaponry, but they handed the Russians their behinds throughout the battle, forcing them to surrender.

Great piece of history. In saying that why does every photograph and film need to be colorized. Kids need to see black & white photographs and films. They can understand technology and its growth. They need to see through their older relatives eyes what they saw as children.

Great warship? IJN Izumo was involved in a war crime against the shipwrecked crew of HMS Peterel at Shanghai on 8 December 1941.

@chadrowe8452 2 ай бұрын

War crimes are a new concept. Look up the definition of havoc. It didn't always happen but it did often enough to have the word. If you don't want to be victim of a "war crime" don't surrender.
