Question
Before departing, the fleet that engaged in this major battle ordered fifty pairs of binoculars due to the admiral’s habit of throwing them overboard. Prior to this battle, one fleet was beset by lemurs while awaiting orders in Madagascar, where they had to send their craziest crewmen home on the Malay. En route to this battle, the losing side accidentally shelled its own ship, the Aurora, in an engagement with the “Gamecock Fleet” of (*) trawlers. To reach the site of this battle, a fleet had to sail around Africa in an 18,000 mile journey that began with a diplomatically-ruinous skirmish against British fishermen at Dogger Bank. At this battle, the tactic of “crossing the T” was successfully executed by Togo Heihachiro. For 10 points, name this decisive naval battle of the Russo-Japanese War. ■END■
