 | | In the Yellow Sea battle, because of his ongoing blockade operations, Admiral Togo was not fully prepared for the sudden sortie of the Russian squadron out of Port Arthur; therefore, he simply had to react to it. |
 | | At the beginning of the battle, the forces under Togo were scattered around the coastal waters of the Yellow Sea, and he quickly tried to assemble them; however, they joined the battle separately, one after another, and fought independently. |
 | | In other words, without the Battle of the Yellow Sea, which was almost no victory at all, Admiral Togo probably would have gone into the Tsushima battle without thorough preparationswithout the best concept of operations, doctrine, or plan, and without the best tactics or fully trained forces and sailors. |
