	Baltic Fleet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chesme Column commemorates the victories of the Baltic Fleet.
		During the war the Fleet, commanded by the vice-admiral Vladimir Tributz, defended the Hanko Peninsula, Tallinn, several islands in Estonian SSR, participated in the break through breach of the Siege of Leningrad, etc. 137 sailors of the Baltic Fleet were awarded a title of the Hero of the Soviet Union.
		During the Cold War the importance of the fleet declined, as the Baltic was a shallow sea with the exits blocked by NATO countries.

		The first great Russian naval victory, at the Hango Peninsula on the Baltic Sea in 1714, also came at the expense of the Swedes; Peter had modernized the Russian navy with the same diligence he applied to the army.
		The greatest Russian military leader of Catherine's time was Aleksandr Suvorov, who fought in the second Russo-Turkish War and the Polish campaign, then led a Russian and Austrian army against the revolutionary French in northern Italy in 1799.
		Although the Nazi invasion of 1941 drove far into the Russian interior to threaten Leningrad and Moscow, a new generation of officers gradually asserted themselves as the Germans were driven from Russian territory in 1943 and 1944 after the climactic Battle of Stalingrad.

	Baltic Sea, Russian & German Navies 1914
		Although the Russian Navy is active in the Baltic through until 1917, probably its most significant contribution to the war at sea - in all theatres - happens just 25 days after the two countries went to war with the capture of German cruiser 'Magdeburg'.
		But on the same day, the Russian's southern flank in the Lakes area is pushed back and out of East Prussia, covering their retreat with a small counter-attack on the 10th, and falling back towards the River Niemen.
		With the Germans outnumbered and the Austrians in the south shattered, the Russians attack towards German Silesia on the 11th.

	Russo-Japanese War
		Russian and Japanese interests in the Far East had been on a collision course since the early 1890s; both countries were interested in taking part in the dismemberment of China.
		On the night of 8-9/21-22 October 1904, as the Russian fleet sailed through the Dogger Bank off the coast of Denmark, some panicky Russian gunners opened fire on British fishing trawlers in the belief that they were (or were hiding in their midst) Japanese torpedo boats.
		The Dogger Bank (or Hull) Incident became a huge scandal (and perhaps a clear testament to the incompetence of the Russian Navy) as the British Navy then actually chased down the Russian fleet and blockaded it in a port in Spain until diplomacy resolved the issue.

		It took the Russian navy’s Baltic Fleet six months on the high seas to make the engagement; only to be sunk in a single day at the Battle of Tsushima.

		The quick massive strike was to destroy the mass of the Russian Army stationed in Western Russia by using a three pronged attack from the north, center and south.
		In addition to the three pronged army attack the German air force was to quickly disable the Russian air force in the western regions of Russia as to never let the Russian air force effect the war.
		It was said of the Russian efforts to resist the initial attack of the Germans that what the Russians accomplished in the early days of the invasion was mostly due to the courage of the individual field soldier.

		By the time of the Crimean War Russia had major fleets in the Baltic and Black Seas, along with minor squadrons in the Arctic White Sea and in the Far East.
		For example, the Russian force in the Far East, consisting largely of frigate-sized vessels, played a game of hide-and-seek with a Franco-British force which assaulted Petropavlosk and failed to tie down the Russians to an engagement on the inland side of Sakhalin island.
		Attempting to sneak between Korea and Japan the Russian fleet, under Admiral Rozhestvensky, was caught by the Japanese and brought to battle not far from the island of Tsu-Shima.

		Kronstadt is too small to base the entire Russian Baltic Fleet, and, although very strongly fortified, is vulner- able to attack from the main land.
		The Russian Fleet to our knowledge has not so far shown the same determination as their Army, except for the destruction at Nikolaev when incompleted ships were destroyed.
		The arrival of the Russian Fleet, although expected, would be highly distasteful to the Swedes, and, swollen by this unwieldy gift, Sweden's neutrality would not remain in- violate for long.

		He was subsequently appointed supreme commander of the Baltic Fleet with the creation of the post in 1909.
