During the crucial Battle of Tsushima on 27 May 1905, Otowa was assigned to the 3rd squadron

of the IJN 2nd Fleet, and saw combat against the Imperial RussianNavy cruisers Oleg, Aurora and Zhemchug. During the first day of battle, she did not take any damage. On 28 May 1905, Otowa and Niitaka intercepted the cruiser Svetlana which had been heavily damaged the day before and was attempting to escape towards Korea together with a destroyer. Otowa was hit by Svetlana's stern guns, killing one officer and four sailors, and injuring 23 others before the Russian cruiser sank. Later that day, at 1600 hours Otowa participated in the final combat of the battle by engaging the cruiser Dmitrii Donskoi, during which time she was hit again, injuring two sailors.

I left that one alone because I didn't expect it to have been in the battle - it was only commissioned in 1904

Here's an easy one (I've got a stinker for the next one - you won't like it)

Aktungbby · 04-25-25, 09:39 AM

does it go?

Eichhörnchen · 04-25-25, 09:44 AM

It does, with some assistance (sorry to be cryptic)

Aktungbby · 04-25-25, 09:57 AM

is it on wheels?
