Naval battles for Peter I

Battle of Gangutska
The Battle of Gangut is a naval battle of the Great Northern War of 1700-1721, which took place on the 27th of July (7th sickle) in 1714 at the Miss Gangut (Hanko Peninsula, Finland) near the Baltic Sea between Russian and Swedish fleets, the first in the history of Russia is the navy.
In the spring of 1714, fate fell and perhaps the entire central part of Finland was occupied by Russian troops. In order to remain clear about Russia's exit to the Baltic Sea, which was controlled by the Swedes, it was necessary to defeat the Swedish fleet.
At the end of 1714, the Russian rowing fleet (99 galleys, scamps and related vessels with a 15,000-strong landing force) under the command of Admiral General Count Fyodor Matviyovich Apraksin was concentrated near the shelter of Gangut (near the bays and Tverminni) with a route to land Abo (100 km for an early approach near Gangut Mountain). The route to the Russian fleet was blocked by the Swedish fleet (15 battleships, 3 frigates, 2 bomber ships and 9 galleys) under the command of G. Vatrang. Petro I (Schautbenacht Petro Mikhailov) stagnated in a tactical maneuver. Having decided to transfer part of their galleys to the area on the outskirts of Gangut, across the isthmus of this river, a distance of 2.5 kilometers. At the end of the century, I’m planning to punish you with the need to install a re-tool (wooden flooring). Having learned about this, Vatrang sent the ships (1 frigate, 6 galleys, 3 skerries) to the pivnichny shore of the island. Rear Admiral Erensheld has recovered. The second mission (8 battleships and 2 bombardment ships) under the leadership of Vice Admiral Lille was aimed at attacking the main forces of the Russian fleet.
Petro realized this decision. Vіn is likely to quickly become divided among the enemy forces. Youmu was protected by the weather. Vranza 26 limes (6 sickles) stood without wind, due to which the Swedish sailing ships lost their maneuverability. The vanguard of the Russian fleet (20 ships) under the command of Commander Matviy Khristoforovich Zmaevich started a breach, passing the Swedish ships and getting beyond the range of their fire. After this, another convoy (15 ships) was launched. Thus, the need for transportation fell. Zagin Zmaevich blocked the Erenskjöld corral on Lakkisser Island.

Respecting that other corrals of Russian ships will continue to pass through this very road, Vatrang called for the corral of Lille, thus making the coastal fairway. Having speeded up, Apraksin, with the leading forces of the rowing fleet, broke through the coastal fairway to his vanguard. On the 14th year of the 27th century (7th sickle), the Russian vanguard at the warehouse of 23 ships attacked Erenskjöld's corral, pushing their ships along an angled line, whose flanks pressed into the islands. The first two attacks by the Swedes succeeded in knocking out the ship's ships with fire. The third attack was launched against the flanking ships of the Swedish corral, which did not allow the enemy to gain superiority in artillery. Soon they were boarded and buried. Petro especially took his part in the boarding attack, showing the sailors the butt of courage and heroism. After an inveterate battle, the Swedish flagship - the frigate "Elephant" - surrendered. All 10 ships were buried in the Erenskjöld corral. Part of the forces of the Swedish fleet began to sail to the Aland Islands.

The victory over the village of Gangut became the first great victory of the Russian regular fleet. She ensured freedom of action in the Finnish and Bothnian waterways, and effective support for Russian troops in Finland. At the Battle of Gangut, the Russian command bravely recognized the superiority of the rowing fleet in the fight against the linear sailing fleet of the Swedes, carefully organized the interaction of forces between the fleet and ground forces, and reacted to changes in the tactical situation and capable minds, they tried to figure out the enemy’s maneuver and impose their tactics on them.

Battle at Grengam
The Battle of Grengam - a naval battle that took place on 27 June (7th sickle) 1720 in the Baltic Sea on the island of Grengam (the lost group of the Åland Islands), became the last great battle of the Great Iceland War.

After the Battle of Gangut, England, stimulated by the increased power of the Russian army, established a military alliance with Sweden. However, the demonstrative proximity of the united Anglo-Swedish squadron to Revel did not bother Peter I to joke with the world, and the squadron sailed to the shores of Sweden. Peter I, having learned about this, ordered the Russian fleet to be moved from the Aland Islands to Helsingfors, and the squadron to be deprived of a few troops for patrolling. Nezabar, one of these people, having sunk to a mile, was buried by the Swedes, as a result of which Petro ordered to turn the fleet back to the Aland Islands.
26 limes (6 sickles) the Russian fleet under the command of M. Golitsin at the warehouse of 61 galleries and 29 ships approaching the Aland Islands. The reconnaissance forces spotted the Swedish squadron between the islands of Lameland and Fritsberg. Due to the strong wind, it was impossible to attack, and Golitsin decided to go to Grenham Island in order to prepare a good position among the skerries.

When the 27th century (7th sickle) the Russian ships approached Grengam, the Swedish fleet under the command of K.G. Sheblada, looming 156 harmata, hesitantly weighed anchor and moved closer, having recognized the Russian mass shelling. The Russian fleet began to quickly enter the shallow waters, where the Swedish ships were sunk to re-examine them. At the Milkodddddi Bilsh Malevrey Rosiyski Galeri I Chovni, they went on the attack of the board of the board of 4 frigati (34-year-old “Stor-Feniks”, 30-year-old “Wenker”, 22-romatny “Kiskin” Tu 18-round “Danzk-Rern” ), after which part of the Swedish fleet, which had been lost, returned.

Battle of Chesma

Battle of Chesma - naval battle 5-7 linya 1770 in the Chesma Bay between the Russian and Turkish fleets.

After the outbreak of the Russian-Turkish war in 1768, Russia sent a few squadrons from the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean in order to gain the respect of the Turks from the Black Sea fleet - this is the name of the First Archipelago Expedition I. Two Russian squadrons (under the command of Admiral Grigory Spiridov and the English commander Rear Admiral John Elphinston), united under the foreign commands of Count Oleksiy Orlov, discovered the Turkish fleet in the roadstead of Chesma Bay (Zakh Save the day of Turecchini).

5 lime tree
After agreeing to the plan, the Russian fleet, under all sails, advanced to the abandoned edge of the Turkish line, and then began to take positions against the Turkish ships. The Turkish fleet opened fire at 11:30-11:45, the Russian fleet at 12:00. The maneuver was not missed by the three Russian ships: “Europe”, having passed its place and, amidst the commotion, turned around and stood behind “Rostislav”, “Three Saints”, having gone around the other Turkish ship from the right side, first and foremost in real life Pomilkovo attacks by the ship “Three Hierarchs” ", and "St. Januariy”, once the confusion unfolded first, it became unsteady.
"St. Evstafiy" under the command of Spiridov fought a duel with the flagship of the Turkish squadron "Real Mustafa" under the command of Hasan Pasha, and then tried to board it. After that, as the main goldfinch “Real Mustafi” was burning, it fell on “St. Evstafiy”, having swelled. In 10-15 minutes, I knocked out “Real Mustafa”. Admiral Spiridov and the commander’s brother Fedir Orlov left the ship before the swell. The captain of “St. Evstafiya" Cruz. Spiridiv continued his command from the ship “Three Saints”.
Until 14:00, the Turks cut off the anchor ropes and advanced to Chesma Bay under the cover of coastal batteries.

6-7 linden, strikes near Chesma Bay
Near the Chesma Bay, Turkish ships formed two lines with 8 and 7 line ships in a row, the main ships took a position between these lines and the shore.
Throughout the 6th day, Russian ships fired at the Turkish fleet and coastal fortifications from Velikaya Vistana. A fireship was broken up from four additional ships.

About 17:00 on the 6th, the bombing ship "Grim" anchored in front of the entrance to Chesmenskaya Bay and began shelling the Turkish ships. At about 0:30 the line ship “Europe” arrived, and at about 1:00 the “Rostislav” arrived, in the wake of which the fire ships arrived.

"Europe", "Rostislav" and "Don't hate me" closed the line from day to day, entering into battle with Turkish ships, "Saratov" stood in reserve, and "Grim" and the frigate "Africa" ​​attacked the batteries at the entrance to the bay. . About 1:30 a.m. earlier (the same night from Elphinston), as a result of the fire of the “Thunder” and/or “Don’t hate me,” one of the Turkish battleships bulged through the halfway passage and hit the hull. The cracks from this bulge threw other ships in the bay.

After the crash of another Turkish ship at 2.00, the Russian ships put down the fire, and the fire ships went to the bay. Two of them, under the commands of captains Gagarin and Dugdale, the Turks were able to shoot (first with Elphinston, the shootings were only the fireship of captain Dugdale, and the fireship of captain Gagarin was willing to go into battle), one under the command of Mackens And having already caught up with the ship, which is already on fire, and one is under command of Daldale. Ilina got together with an 84-garmat ship of the line. Allen set fire to the fireship, and at the same time he and his team left it on the boat. The ship sank and set fire to most of the Turkish ships that were lost. Before 2:30, 3 more ships of the line sank.

At about 4:00, the Russian ships sent boats from here to rescue two great ships that were not yet on fire, in order to take away only one of them - the 60-garmat "Rhodes". From 4:00 to 5:30, 6 more line ships sank, and on the 7th year - 4 at the same time. Until 8:00, the battle at Chesma Bay was completed.
After the Battle of Chesma, the Russian fleet succeeded in seriously disrupting Turkish communications near the Egean Sea and establishing a blockade of the Dardanelles. All this played an important role in the process of establishing the Kuchuk-Kainardzhi peace treaty.

Battles of Rocensalm

The First Battle of Rochensalm is a naval battle between Russia and Sweden, which took place on September 13 (24), 1789, on the roadstead of the Swedish town of Rochensalm and ended with the defeat of the Russian fleet.
On September 22, 1789, the Swedish fleet, numbering 49 ships under the command of Admiral K. A. Erensvärd, converged on the Rochensalms roadstead among the islands of the current Finnish town of Kotka. The Swedes blocked the only channel accessible to large ships, the Rochensalm Channel, sinking three ships there. 24 sickles of 86 Russian ships under the command of Vice Admiral K. G. Nassau-Siegen launched an attack from two sides. Today's arrest under the command of Major General I. P. Balle, for many years, the main forces of the Swedes were withdrawn from the main forces, while the main forces of the Russian fleet fought their way out of the night under the leadership of Rear Admiral Yu. P. Letti. The ships fought, and special teams of sailors and officers cut a passage. Five years later, Rochensalm was cleared, and the Russians escaped to the raid. The Swedes suffered defeats, having lost 39 ships (including the Admiral's, which were full of wrecks). At the expense of the Russians, 2 ships were built. The commander of the right wing of the Russian vanguard, Antonio Coronelli, became the commander of the battle.

Russia - 86 ships
Sweden – 49 ships

Vyskov's expenses:
Russia -2 ships
Sweden – 39 ships

Another battle of Rochensalm is a naval battle between Russia and Sweden, which took place on 9-10 June 1790 at the raid of the Swedish town of Rochensalm. The Swedish military and naval forces delivered a miserable defeat to the Russian fleet, which led to the end of the Russian-Swedish war that Russia had already won in minds that were not favorable to the Russian side.

The attempt to storm Viborg, launched by the Swedes in early 1790, was not successful: on 4 June 1790, the Swedish fleet was blocked by Russian ships at Viborzka Zatotsya, escaping at a significant cost. Having transported the galley fleet to Rocensalma (the main warehouse of the military combat vessels that had broken through the Viborz blockade and were sent for repairs at Sveaborg), Gustav III and Warrant Captain Lieutenant Colonel Karl Olof Kronstedt began preparations for transfer new attack by the Russians. On the 6th line, the remaining regulations on the organization of defense were completed. On Svitanka 9 June 1790, the Russian courts appeared to be approaching, having issued orders before the start of the battle.
At the beginning of the first Battle of Rochensalm, the Russians were planning to break into the Swedish raid from one side of the Rochensalm channel. The head of the Russian rowing fleet at the Finnish butt, Vice Admiral Karl Nassau-Siegen, reached Rochensalm on the 2nd night and on the 9th morning, without further reconnaissance, starting the battle - truly, surely earn a gift from Empress Catherine II before the day of her accession to the throne . From the beginning of the battle, the course of the battle turned out to be favorable for the Swedish fleet, which was entrenched in the Rochensalm roadstead with a tight L-shaped anchor fret - regardless of the significant superiority of the Russians in the special warehouse and naval artillery. On the first day of the battle, Russian ships attacked the Swedish flank, but were tossed by hurricane winds and fired from the shore by Swedish coastal batteries, as well as Swedish galleys and gunboats that were at anchor.

Then the Swedes, maneuvering lightly, moved the gunboats to the left flank and mixed up the Russian galleys. During the panicked advance, most of the Russian galleys, and behind them the frigates and shebeks, were smashed by the storm's hulls, sank and overturned. A dozen Russian sailing ships, which were anchored at combat positions, were boarded, buried or burned.

The next day, the Swedes strengthened their disposition with a new successful attack. The surplus of the Russian fleet was left behind at Rochensalm.
Another battle at Rocensalmi cost the Russian side nearly 40% of the Baltic coastal defense fleet. The battle is one of the largest military-naval operations (including many vessels) in the entire military-naval history; A large number of warships - which do not take into account the tributes of ancient traditions about the battle of the island of Salamis and Mission Eknom - took part in the battle in Leyte on June 23-26, 1944.

Beat Bilya Misu Tendra (Battle of Gadzhibey)

Battle at Misu Tendra (Battle of Hajibey) - naval battle on the Black Sea during the Russian-Turkish War of 1787-1791 between the Russian squadron under the command of F. F. Ushakov and the Turkish squadron under the command of Hasan Pash i. It became 28-29 sickle (8-9 spring) 1790 year of the Tendra Spit.

After the annexation of Crimea to Russia, a new Russian-Turkish war began. The Russian troops began their offensive near the Danube. To assist them, a galley flotilla was formed. However, it could not complete the transition from the Kherson region to the area of ​​military operations due to the presence of a Turkish squadron at the entrance to the Black Sea. The squadron of Rear Admiral F. F. Ushakov came to the aid of the flotilla. Hovering under their command are 10 line ships, 6 frigates, 17 cruising ships, a bombardment ship, a rehearsal ship and 2 fire ships, 25 battleships from Sevastopol and straight to Ochakov to unite with the rowing fleet and the date of the battle is impregnable.

The commander of the Turkish fleet, Hasan Pasha, gathered all his forces into a fist between Hajibey (nine Odessa) and Miss Tendra, seeking revenge for the defeat in the battle of the Kerch Channel 8 (19) linya 1790 rub. His determination to fight against the enemy has overthrown Nezabar's strength in the Russian naval forces on the Black Sea and thus deserves his favor. Selim III, to be faithful, gave aid to his other relative (Hasan Pasha, who was friends with the Sultan’s sister), the learned admiral Said Bey, with the possible intention of changing the crossing of the sea to the crust of Turecchin.
Vranza is the 28th largest Turkish fleet, which consists of 14 line ships, 8 frigates and 23 other vessels, which remain anchored between the Tendra and Hajibey. And rushing from the side of Sevastopol, Hasan discovered Russian ships that were sailing under full sails in a marching order of three columns. The appearance of the Russians brought the Turks into complicity. Unregardless of their superiority, they hastily began cutting ropes and calmly made their way to the Danube. Ushakov ordered to carry everything and, having lost the marching order, began to go down to the gate. The leading Turkish ships, filling the winds, went to the right station. Already, noticing the insecurity that hung over the rearguard, Hasan Pasha began to unite with him and begin the battle line. Ushakov continued to approach the enemy, also ordering him to return to the battle line. As a result, Russian ships “even super-chicken” were put into battle order in the wind of the Turks.

Vikorist’s change in the battle formation, which he justified himself in the Battle of Kerch, Fedir Fedorovich lived from a line of three frigates - “John the Warrior”, “Ironim” and “Protection of the Virgin” to ensure a maneuverable reserve in the event of a change in Itru and possible under this attack of the enemy from two sides. About the 15th year, having reached the enemy within shotgun range, F.F. Ushakov thought about it before the fight. And soon, under the strong fire of the Russian line, the enemy began to flail under the wind and fall into disarray. Having moved closer, the Russians attacked the advanced part of the Turkish fleet with increasing force. Ushakov's flagship ship "Rizdvo Khristov" fought against three enemy ships, forcing them to leave the line.

Until the 17th year, the entire Turkish line was completely broken. These days, the Russians, the leading ships of the enemy, turned their stern to them in order to leave the battle. Their butt was inherited by other ships, which became advanced in their maneuvers. As the hour turned, low, heavy volleys of gunfire erupted along them, as if they had left behind great ruins. Particularly damaged were two Turkish flagship ships that were in conflict with the "Revelation of Christ" and the "Transfiguration of the Lord." On the Turkish flagship, the main topsail was smashed, the yards were broken, the topmast was destroyed, and the stern section was destroyed. I'll be happy. Three Turkish ships were cut off from the main forces, and the stern part of the Hasan-Pashinsky ship was blown apart by Russian cannonballs. The enemy is furiously flowing towards the Danube. Ushakov re-investigated him until it was dark and windy, but having tried, they did not hesitate to give up the chase and lay at anchor.
The next day it turned out that the Turkish ships were in close proximity to the Russians, and the frigate “Amvrosiy Medyolanskiy” burst into flames and landed in the middle of the enemy’s fleet. As soon as the fragments of the ensign were still raised, the Turks accepted him as one of their own. The guilt of the commander - captain M.M. Neledinsky - helped you get out of such a folding camp. Having weighed anchor with other Turkish ships, he continued to follow them without raising a flag. Rising step by step, Neledinsky reached the moment when the danger had passed, raising the Andrievsky ensign and the troops to his fleet. Ushakov gave the command to raise the anchor and move under the sail to re-investigate the enemy, who, looming in the wind, began to dissipate in different directions. The Turkish fleet suffered severe damage to the 74-garmat ship "Kapudania", which was the flagship of Said Bey, and the 66-garmat ship "Meleki Bahri". The rest, having lost their commander Kara-Ali, killed by a cannonball, surrendered without a fight, and “Kapudania”, trying to escape from the re-investigation, directed its course to the shallow water, which reinforced the fairway between Kinburn and Hajibe em. The commander of the vanguard, captain of brigadier rank G.K., was sent in pursuit. Golenkin with two ships and two frigates. The ship "St. Andriy" was the first to catch up with "Kapudania" and open the fire. Nezabar taught “St. George”, and behind him – “The Transfiguration of the Lord” and a bunch of judges. Approaching in the wind and firing a volley, they replaced one another.

Said Bey's ship was practically abandoned, but after surviving it, it was well protected. Ushakov, bachachi marna zeal of the enemy, about 14 years of marching up to the new 30 fathoms, having beaten all the horses from him and made way for the “St. George." Nezabar "Rizdvo Khristov" again stood alongside the bow of the Turkish flagship, preparing for the first salvo. Ale, bachachi your hopelessness, the Turkish flagship has lowered the ensign. Russian sailors boarded the already crippled ship, preparing to select officers to board the boats. In a squall wind and thick smoke, the remaining boat with a great risk again approached the side and found Said Bey, after which the ship flew off at the same time with the crew and the treasury of the Turkish fleet. The great admiral's ship crashed in front of the entire Turkish fleet, defeating the Turks and completing the moral victory achieved by Ushakov at Tendri. The strong wind, damage to the spars and rigging did not allow Ushakov to continue re-investigating the enemy. The Russian commander ordered to give chase and join up with the Liman squadron.

In the two-day naval battle, the enemy suffered a miserable defeat, having lost two ships of the line, a brigantine, a lanson and a floating battery.

Battle of Sinopsk

Battle of Sinopsk - defeat of the Turkish squadron by the Russian Black Sea Fleet on November 18 (30), 1853, under the command of Admiral Nakhimov. Some historians view this as the “swan song” of the fighting fleet and the first battle of the Crimean War. The Turkish fleet was crushed for many years. This attack became a trigger for Great Britain and France to stun the Russian war.

Vice Admiral Nakhimov (84-garmat line ships "Empress Maria", "Chesma" and "Rostislav") formerly sent messages from Prince Menshikov while cruising to the shores of Anatolia. There were reports that the Turks in Sinop were preparing forces for a landing at Sukhum and Poti. Having reached Sinop, Nakhimov stopped Turkish ships at the bay under the protection of 6 coastal batteries and decided to closely blockade the port so that the arrivals from Sevastopol would reinforce the attack on the enemy.
16 (28) leaf fall 1853 r. Before Nakhimov’s drive, the squadron of Rear Admiral F. M. Novosilsky (120-garmat line ships “Paris”, “Grand Duke Kostyantin” and “Three Saints”, frigates “Kahul” and “Kulevchi”) arrived. The Turks could be strengthened by the allied Anglo-French fleet, deployed in the Beshik-Kertez Bay (Dardanelli channel). It was planned to attack in two columns: in the 1st, closest to the gate - the ships of Nakhimov's corral, in the 2nd - Novosilsky, frigates under the sails to guard the enemy steamboats; The consular booths and the burning place were decided to spare, as far as possible, the enemy ships and batteries. First, the 68-pound bomb shells were transferred to the vicorists.

Vranci 18 leaf fall (30 leaf fall) due to the gusty winds in the OSO, which is very unsuitable for being engulfed by Turkish ships (they could easily wash ashore).
About 9:30 a.m., trimming the crests of the ship along the sides of the ships, the squadron headed straight to the roadstead. Near the depths of the bay, 7 Turkish frigates and 3 corvettes were refurbished for a month under the protection of 4 batteries (one - 8-garmat, 3 - 6-garmat each); Behind the battle line there were 2 steam ships and 2 transport ships.
About 12.30 on the 1st shooting from the 44-garmat frigate “Aunni-Allah” there was a clear fire from all Turkish ships and batteries.
The line ship "Empress Maria" was bombarded with shells, most of its spars and rigging that were standing were broken, and the mainsail lost only one shroud. The prote ship was impeccably ahead, firing battle fire at the enemy ships, dropping an anchor against the frigate “Aunni-Allah”; the rest, not having withstood the constant shelling, rushed ashore. Then the Russian flagship turned its cargo including the 44-garmat frigate “Fazli-Allah”, which suddenly burst into flames and also jumped ashore. After this, the ships "Empress Maria" concentrated on battery No. 5.

The line ship “Grand Duke Kostyantin”, anchored, started a strong fire at battery No. 4 and the 60-garmat frigates “Navek-Bakhri” and “Nesimi-Zefer”; the first visit was made 20 weeks after the fire broke out, covering battery No. 4 with the spirits and bodies of sailors, which then ceased operation; another boat was thrown onto the shore by the wind, if the anchor lance was broken in the new boat.
The battleship "Chesma" with its arrows carried batteries No. 4 and No. 3.

Linear ship "Paris", standing at anchor, facing the battle fire of battery No. 5, the corvette "Guli-Sefid" (22 guns) and the frigate "Damiad" (56 guns); Then, having picked up the corvette and thrown the frigate ashore, and began to engage the frigate “Nizamie” (64 guns), the foxes of the belligerents were hit, and the ship drifted to the shore, where it immediately caught fire. Todi "Paris" began to fire at battery No. 5 again.

The battleship "Three Saints" entered into battle with the frigates "Kaida-Zefer" (54 guns) and "Nizamie"; The first warlike shots broke the spring and the ship, turning behind the wind, recognizing the late-night fire of battery No. 6, and severely damaged its mast. Having turned the stern again, they began to move towards the “Kaida-Zefer” and other ships and rushed to the shore.
The line ship "Rostislav", covering the "Three Saints", centered the fire on battery No. 6 and on the corvette "Feize-Meabud" (24 guns) and threw the corvette ashore.

At 1 ½ o'clock in the afternoon, the Russian steam frigate "Odessa" arrived through the mission under the ensign of Adjutant General Vice Admiral V. A. Kornilov, at the escort of the steam frigate "Krim" and "Khersones". This court unexpectedly took its part in the battle, which, prote, was already approaching the end; The Turks' strength had weakened. Batteries No. 5 and No. 6 lasted the turbocharged Russian ships until the 4th year, and “Paris” and “Rostislav” destroyed them without delay. It was time for the Turkish ships to be set on fire, perhaps with their own crews, and sent flying into the wind one after another; As a result, the fire spread in the area, as if there was no one to extinguish it.

Battle of Tsushima

Tsushima naval battle - naval battle 14 (27) May 1905 - 15 (28) May 1905 in the area of ​​Tsushima Island (Tsushima Channel), in the Russian 2nd squadron of the Pacific Fleet under the command of Vice Admiral Zinov I Petrovich's impression of the Imperial Japanese fleet under the command of Admiral Heihachiro Togo. The last, most important naval battle of the Russian-Japanese war of 1904-1905, during which the Russian squadron was completely defeated. Most of the ships were sunk or scuttled by the crews of their ships, some capitulated, some were interned in neutral ports, and a few were allowed to sail through Russian ports. Having passed through the time-consuming, laborious history of steam fleets, the 18,000-mile (33,000-kilometer) transition of the great, varied in ship warehouse, Russian squadron from the Baltic Sea to the Far East.

Another Russian Pacific squadron under the command of Vice Admiral Z. P. Rozhdestvensky was formed in the Baltic and was assigned to reinforce the First Pacific squadron, which was based in Port Arthur on the Yellow Sea. Having started its route near Libava, Rozhdestvensky’s squadron reached the shores of Korea until mid-1905. At that time, the Persha Pacific Squadron was already practically impoverished. In the hands of the Russians in the Pacific Ocean, they lost only one full-fledged military-sea port - Vladivostok, and will soon be covered by a strong Japanese fleet. At the warehouse of Rozhdestvensky's squadron there were 8 squadron battleships, 3 coastal defense battleships, one armored cruiser, 8 cruisers, one auxiliary cruiser, 9 destroyers, 6 transports and two hospital ships. The artillery armor of the Russian squadron was equipped with 228 guns, 54 with calibers ranging from 203 to 305 mm.

14 (27) Druga's Pacific squadron went to the Korean Channel with the intention of breaking through to Vladivostok, and was discovered by the Japanese patrol cruiser Izumi. The commander of the Japanese fleet, Admiral H. Togo, by this time had 4 squadron battleships, 8 armored cruisers, 16 cruisers, 6 gunboats and coastal defense ships, 24 auxiliary cruisers, 21 destroyers and 42 destroyers, armed with a total of 910 guns, of which 60 small caliber from 203 to 305 mm. The Japanese fleet was divided into these battle areas. He immediately began to grumble his way with the goal of imposing on the Russian squadron and protecting it.

The Russian squadron left the exit passage of the Korean Channel (Tsushima Channel), crossing the Tsushima Island on the left side. They were followed by Japanese cruisers, which were heading in the fog parallel to the course of the Russian squadron. The Russians discovered Japanese cruisers around 7 years ago. The Resurgence, without starting to fight, transferred the squadron into two behind-the-scenes columns, depriving the rearguard of transports and cruisers that were covering them.

About the 13th year of the 15th century, at the exit from the Tsushima channel, the head strength of the Japanese fleet (battleships and armored cruisers) was discovered, which attempted to change the course of the Russian squadron. The rebirth began to re-form the ships into one wake column. As the hour passed, the distance between the enemy ships shortened. Having finished the break, the Russian ships on the 13th year of 49 miles from a distance of 38 cables (over 7 km) opened the fire.

The Japanese ships opened fire at the line three weeks later, centering them on the leading Russian ships. Having gained superiority in the squadron speed (16-18 knots versus 12-15 for the Russians), the Japanese fleet sailed ahead of the Russian colony, changing its course and attempting to hunt for its lead part. Until the 14th year, the distance changed to 28 cables (5.2 km). Japanese artillery had a low rate of fire (360 rounds per shell versus 134 for the Russian), Japanese high-explosive shells outweighed the Russians by 10-15 times, the armor of the Russian ships was weaker (4 0% flat versus 61% for the Japanese). Qia perevaga zoomed in on the result of the battle.

About the 14th year of the 25th century, the flagship battleship “Prince Suvorov” was in good health, Rozhdestvensky was injured. In just 15 minutes, the battleship "Oslyabya" sank. The Russian squadron, which had spent its time, continued to move into the colony on a day-to-day basis, changing course twice in order to increase the distance between itself and the enemy. During the battle, the Japanese ships consistently surrounded the fire with the lead ships, trying to take them out in good order.

After the 18th year, command was transferred to Rear Admiral N.I. Nebogatov. Until that hour, several squadron battleships had already perished, and all the ships of the Russian squadron were damaged. Japanese ships were also subject to little damage, but there were no sinkings. The Russian cruisers, which were in a close column, repelled the attacks of the Japanese cruisers; During the battle, one additional cruiser “Ural” and one transport were lost.

At the beginning of the 15th, Japanese destroyers repeatedly attacked Russian ships, firing 75 torpedoes. As a result of the sinking of the battleship Navarin, the crews of three armored cruisers, who had lost control, were afraid to sink their ships. The Japanese spent three destroyers in the night battle. In the dark, the Russian ships lost contact with each other and continued to act independently. Under Nebogatov’s command, only two squadron battleships, two coastal defense battleships and one cruiser were lost.
Some of the ships and Nebogatov’s cargo still hoped to break through to Vladivostok. Three cruisers, including the Aurora, set sail for the day and reached Manila, where they were interned. Zagin Nebogatova was captured by Japanese ships and surrendered to the enemy, but the cruiser “Izumrud” was ready to break through the border and go to Vladivostok. At the same time, Saint Volodymyr was in the middle of nowhere and was supported by the team. The Japanese also lost the destroyer "Bidovy" from the wounded Rizdvyaniy.

15 (28) one battleship, one coastal defense battleship, three cruisers and one destroyer were lost in battle. Three destroyers were sunk by their crews, and one destroyer was sent off Shanghai, where they were interned. Only the cruiser Almaz and two destroyers made it to Vladivostok. The Russian fleet lost 8 squadron battleships, one armored cruiser, one coastal defense battleship, 4 cruisers, one auxiliary cruiser, 5 destroyers and a number of transports at the Battle of Tsushima. Two squadrons of battleships, two coastal defense battleships and one destroyer surrendered to the Japanese.

The opposite galleries decided to approach the Swedish ships, surrounded them, and the Russian sailors rushed to board.

After a merciless situation, the Swedish flagship - the frigate "Elephant" (Elephant) - was boarded, and all 10 ships surrendered.

PETER I ABOUT THE VICTORY AT GANGUTI

“A power that has one land army, one arm, and one arm, but one that has a fleet, it hurts its hands.”

“It is truly impossible to describe the courage of the Russian troops, both the cob and the rank and file, and the boarding was so brutally carried out that from the hostile forces there were a handful of soldiers not with cannonballs and grapeshots, but with the spirit of gunpowder as a force of destruction.”

ABOUT THE SEA BATTLE, WHICH VIPALA, BETWEEN THE RUSSIAN AVANTGARDE AND THE SWEDISH SQUADRON

On the 21st day Yogo Majesty went by sea to reconnoiter the enemy's fleet... On the 22nd day he went by dry road to Angut to reconnoitre the enemy's fleet... Both from the sea and from the land they recognized him (without cruisers, of which there were 6 ): 13 line ships, 4 frigates, 1 blockhouse, 2 bombardment ships, 2 ships, 6 large and small galleys; three ships behind the island were visible, like our Russian brigantines, but in reality it was impossible to see. The commanders of the fleet were one admiral, vice admiral, and two schoutbenakhti. On the 23rd and 24th we went and inspected the portages and found one that was about 1170 fathoms three-arches high from the Vereminskaya inlet to the other one, along the exit (entrance) bank of Angut... According to the survey, the place of work was indicated, to Too many light galleys to pull and miss for action and this will lead to confusion...

On the 25th day (that is, in a week) in the afternoon there was almost a hint of shooting in the sea... From the fire guard they reported to the Admiral General that the shooting was in the cruisers of the enemy... Those same years, the Admiral General reported in a letter - (Shautben Aht Petro I ) - and at the same time asking that he himself be in the morning for a summer observation.

On the 26th day, the Admiral General had arrived earlier, and the Swedish Vice Admiral Lilliy, leaving the skerries from the Angut branch, turned at Tveremindske. Then they already realized that the enemy’s goal was not to Revel, but to Tveremind... They issued a decree so that the entire fleet was preparing to leave the university town, where they stood so that the enemy would not close in Avangut, and then make a free detour. They took a resolution to send 20 galleys, to pass the enemy’s fleet (it was quiet below), which was carried out under the command of Captain-Commander Zmaievich and Brigadier Volkov and Captain Bredal. The enemy at that time gave a sign before the campaign and began to tow as much as possible; and especially the admiral's ship was quickly towed by boats and boats and they shot a lot at ours, but did not harm their cores... When... our first messages went through, we sent a sufficient 15 galleys, which were here with brigadier Lefort and with captains Dezhimont and Gris , as well... they said happily... Then the Swedish admiral raised the white ensign to turn his vice-admiral. At the same time, when the galleries were moving, it was reported that one frigate and six galleys and two ships of warships had appeared near the place where we were working, then, offended, the flagships went from that place back to the galley fleet y, and the captain- A decree was sent to Commander Zmaevich - it was ordered to attack them. But it was too late that day: the Vice-Admiral had turned around and reunited with his fleet... Later, the Admiral General and the ship's Schautbenacht (which was the same as the galley fleet) were not close to each other, but separated from each other Their night is dark, For this reason, on this night, on the 27th, the line between the known flagships was sent through the secret cabinet secretary Makarov... Therefore, it was sent to fight our way through the enemy with the galley fleet.

And on the 27th day in the morning, Admiral General Count Apraksin, with a new large fleet, was approaching the enemy from the very beginning. The decree was given to get through this, without rowing, which, with the help of God, was done. And so unsurprisingly, that only one galley stood in the middle of the road, as the enemy had taken... All the other ships, so the people passed without harm, although from the entire enemy fleet they shot at our overworld mercilessly, from which shooting one captain’s leg was broken . .. When the admiral passed, then reported to his captain-commander Zmaievich that he had blocked the enemy... When the admiral general arrived at that place, having put the fleet to sleep before the battle, sending Adjutant General Yaguzhinsky to the commander of that Swedish squadron Schoutbenacht Ernschild that one gave in; to which he said that we can’t do that... Because of their zeal, the Admiral General gave the signal to our vanguard to attack... The attack began on the third day after noon and continued until the fifth year... I want the enemy to be invincible artillery in front of ours, however, according to the strong support, first the galleries were taken one by one, and then the frigate was taken. And the enemies defended themselves so strongly that no ship could get past ours without boarding. Schoutbenacht, across the ensign, jumped off the boat with his grenadiers and wanted to drink. Ale was captured by ours, and the Ingermanland regiment itself was captured by Captain Bakeev with grenadiers.

Peter I

On the 27th of July (7th sickle) there were two brilliant victories for the Russian fleet - naval battles with the Swedish fleet at Miss Gangut (Hanko) (1714) and on the island of Grenham (1720).

One of the main directions of the current foreign policy of the Russian state has long been the struggle to reach the sea shores, first to the Baltic Sea. The most important stage of this struggle was the Pivnichny War of 1700-1721. And, right now, the naval battles of the Russian and Swedish fleets on the Gangut Island and the island of Grengam.

Vlitku 1714 rub. The Russian galley fleet under the command of Admiral General F. M. Apraksin (99 galleys and ships) sailed directly from Kronstadt to the Aland skerries to reinforce the Russian garrison in Abo. The way was blocked by the Swedish line fleet of Vice-Admiral Vatrang (15 battleships, 3 frigates, 2 bomber ships, a row of rowing ships), which grew out of the deserted edge of the Gangut peninsula. In order to bypass the enemy ships, the Russian side planned to pull part of its ships through the drag at the narrow part of the isthmus. The Swedes sent the squadron of Rear Admiral N. Yerenskiöld (10 ships) to the final transfer point. Shortened by the discord of the Swedish forces and the calm, part of the Russian fleet oared along the shore and blocked Erenskjöld in Relaksfjord. The Swedes responded to the proposal with the help of the commander, after which Peter I, who commanded the vanguard, ordered to attack the enemy.

During the battle, the Swedes lost 10 ships, 361 people killed, 350 wounded and 237 casualties. Russia's losses included 127 killed and 342 wounded. For their participation in the Battle of Gangut, 130 Russian officers were awarded gold medals, 3 thousand. 284 lower ranks - sribnymi.

Gangut - first great victory for the Russian fleet. She raised the spirit of the army by showing that the Swedes can be made rich both on land and by the sea. Russia's position in Finland has strengthened. The fighting was transferred to Swedish territory.

After six rocks, 27 years (7 sickles) 1720, on the island of Grenham, the galley fleet under the command of General M. M. Golitsin (61 galleys and 29 chovnivs, 52 harmati) defeated the Swedish squadron of Vice-Admiral Shenblat.

On the 27th day (7th sickle), the Russian fleet was destroyed to the island of Grengam, in order to take a strong position in the skerries, in order to avoid attacks by the Swedes and turn back at the channel. When the Swedish ships were drawn into the shallow water area, the Russians launched a counterattack and boarded 4 frigates, and the other Swedish ships retreated. The Swedes spent 103 people killed and 407 half, the Russians - 82 killed and 203 wounded.

The victory at Grengam hastened the establishment of the Nishtadian peace and the end of the Pivnichny War.

Before Peter I, there were no great military ships in Russia, since the access to the sea was more powerful. The first Russian sailing ship "Eagle", intended for military needs and built in 1669, accommodated a crew of more than 35 people and was intended for landings and boarding crews, but for close combat, and not for operations in the open sea .

Having placed the ship on the right behind the cordon, the emperor immediately realized the need for a serious reorganization of maritime law in Russia and proceeded to shipbuilding. The first victories achieved by the Russian fleet during the hours of his reign became a part of such great reform activity. The Russian fleet first established itself in the Azov campaigns, after which it was practically tested during the Pivnichny War.

Fleet for Peter I

One of the first great and distant battles of the Russian sailing fleet for Peter the Great took place miraculously over the sea, in the Pelkinoya River on the 6th of June 1713. The battle took the part of the galley fleet of the commander Apraksin with the naval infantry landing party on board, numbering over 16 thousand people, and the naval fleet, which was commanded by Petro himself. The Russian troops attacked the enemy's positions from the flanks, and after unbroken support they achieved a miserable victory.

On May 27, 1714, another major naval battle was fought for the naval fleet - the Gangut naval battle, in which the grenadiers, infantry, guards and galley regiments and battalions took their part. The Gangut battle was fought in the minds of the open sea and the superior forces of the enemy, a fragment of the Russian naval squadron, which consists of a rowing fleet, fought with 15 battleships, 3 frigates, 2 bombardment ships and 9 galleys of the Swedish fleet, which commanded vav G. Va.

Understanding that the Russian ships have no chance of overcoming such a majestic and well-equipped fleet in battle, Petro decided to transfer part of the fleet across the isthmus to the front of the very bridge, which was planned to fight, for which he was prompted Or a transshipment place like the Mali Buti galleries overtightened. to another bank. The Swedes, having learned about such a cunning maneuver, divided their fleet and threw it in front of the carefully transported ships, which did not appear there, because everything carried out by Peter was nothing more than a military cunning, as a result of which it fell under Eliminate the great fleet and recapture the great advantage.

The Russian fleet received 20 ships from the warehouse, identified by Commander M.Kh. Zmaevich began to destroy the Swedish fleet, in which the fire was lost along the line, while another fleet of 15 ships was in reserve until the final hour, which saved Peter from the need to transport ships, but put the Swedes in a blind corner . The Swedes tried to go on the attack, but they were defeated and after the delivery of the lead flagship, they suffered defeats. Only a small part of the Swedish ships were allowed to spin.

Another battle that glorified the Russian fleet and put it on a par with the largest fleets of European countries took place on June 27, 1720 on the island of Grengam, which is included in the group of the Aland Islands. The Russian fleet at the warehouse of 90 ships was commanded by M. Golitsin, the Swedish - by K. G. Sheblad. As a result of the battle that took place, the Russian galleys, which did not command great depth, were able to lure the Swedish fleet into shallow waters, resulting in defeat.

The naval battles for Peter I put an end to the Panic of the Swedes near the Baltic Sea and showed that Russia was becoming a serious rival both on land and at sea.
