Route to the Pacific
editThe article states "the Russian fleet sailed from the Baltic, through the Mediterranean, down the Red Sea, [and] across the Indian Ocean" to get to Tsushima. It is my recollection, however, that the jumpy Russians, fearing Japanese attack, fired on some British fishing vessels in the North Sea (thinking them to be Japanese torpedo boats in the fog), in response to which the Brits closed the Suez Canal to them. Consequently, the Russians had to go "the long way" around Africa, adding thousands of miles to their already-long journey. Or is there something I've forgotten? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 16:55, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
- This ship was part of Squadron 2. Squad 2 left after the Brits got a bit friendly, and were allowed to pass. Or maybe they passed earlier. Thanks for your dilligent review of DYK's. Buggie111 (talk) 17:05, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

- Re added link to Admiral Dmitry - there are various methods of trasliterating latin to cyrillic - the spelling used was that of his more famous grandson
WP:URFA/2020 and possible TFA run
editI am reviewing this article as part of WP:URFA/2020 and for a possible WP:TFA run on November 8, the 125th anniversary of its launch. When reviewing this article, I had some concerns which I hope others can address:
- The lede for this article is quite short, and does not mention many details of its design or construction. Should the lede be expanded?
- The article is shorter than others, and lists two sources in a "Further reading" section. Can these sources be used as inline citations in the article? Are there other sources available for this article?
