		When she finally rejoined the fleet, she reported that her gunners had fired some 300 rounds in an engagement with three "Japanese ships." It turned out that the ships were a Swedish merchantman, a German trawler and a French schooner.
		Fleet morale was so bad that many of the sailors had become convinced they were sailing to certain destruction.
		By midday, Vice Admiral Rozhestvensky's Baltic Fleet reached a point near the southern tip of Tsushima Island, where Japanese ships were sighted off the port bow of the leading Russian ships and seemed about to steam across their path.

		On the other hand, if the English Fleet had decided to make a demonstration on a large scale against the, Baltic, we should have been forced either to abandon the enterprise in the east, or to oppose the English with very small forces in the west of the Baltic.
		According to the treaty stipulations, the Russian Fleet retired into the inner Gulf of Finland to Kronstadt, and thus there was no longer any necessity for the presence of our battleships, as our Baltic light craft seemed to suffice for the of the Baltic Division in their task- of liberating Finland.

		Last Sunday, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov visited Kaliningrad, the main base of the Baltic Fleet, and told journalists that the situation in the Baltic region may destabilize when the former Soviet republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania join NATO and the European Union.
		There will be no further cuts in the Baltic Fleet and new ships will be provided to keep it battle-ready.
		It's possible that Ivanov's belligerent rhetoric about the totally peaceful Baltic Sea again becoming a future theater of confrontation was an ill-advised attempt to add some military muscle to the debate.

		The new British fleet commander was Rear Admiral Dundas - no, not he sacked from the Crimea, booted upstairs - though nothing would surprise me from their Lordships, class of 1855 - but a coincidental namesake, whose father had been First Lord of the Admiralty - gosh, an even greater coincidence.
		As Jellicoe and Beatty were to find a couple of generations later, it's all very praiseworthy doing a great job keeping the enemy fleet bottled up, but the public at large wanted to see allied ships destroying the Russian fleet, or at least making their port defences crumble.
		The Black Sea Fleet was expected to do everything, but did nothing; the Baltic Fleet was expected to do nothing, and did so.

		The reborn Pacific Fleet was to account for almost 40 percent of this inventory, in order to be capable of defeating the Japanese on the open sea, to destroy their home bases and fisheries, occupy the Kurils, and disrupt Japan’s sea communications.
		As for the Northern Fleet, its task was to prevent Germany from landing troops in the Arctic and to disrupt communications in the North Atlantic.

		He was subsequently appointed supreme commander of the Baltic Fleet with the creation of the post in 1909.
		Caution won out however (with the Russian naval high command continuing to fear large-scale German action in the Baltic) and he was instructed to maintain a defensive posture in spite of the Russian fleet's manifestly growing naval superiority in the region.

		Seven British submarines that had been operating with the Russian Fleet in the Baltic were thus destroyed outside of Helsingfors by order of the Admiralty between 3 and 8 April, 1918.
		The fleet in the hands of the Soviet Government is completely demoralized; many of the ships have been stripped by their crews; discipline is practically nonexistent, and in all cases the crews have been much depleted.
		The Baltic Fleet can not be considered as a fighting force; it is practically at the mercy of any enemy force that may occupy Cronstadt or Petrograd.

		The Northern Fleet is located along the Kola Peninsula coast, with a principal port at Murmansk and in the White Sea at Arkhangel.
		The Baltic Sea Fleet, located at Kronstadt Naval Base and Riga, is also constrained since ice closes these ports about three months a year; at times the ice is so thick that the Russians can drive trucks across it.
