Another sidenote:
In the Battle of Tsu-Shima the position of the russian fleet was given away by an "auxillary cruiser" (apparently a hospital ship) trailing the main fleet and travelling in the dusk with lights on. Admiral Togo's forces didn't bother with engaging it, instead they just appreciated the information and set a course for crossing the russian main fleet's T. Engaging that poor "auxillary cruiser" wouldn't have helped them at all.
