began to trail behind the ship looking for food. The stupidity of this particular group of Russians continued, which led to one ship, the Kamchatka, firing live ammunition at another ship. The Kamchatka had a very bad record on this voyage, which started with proclaiming to the entire fleet that it was being attacked by eight Japanese fleet and shooting at yet another fishing fleet. As the Russians sailed nearer and nearer towards the Japanese, they realised that they desperately needed a plan of attack. They decided to sneak up on the Japanese at night and surprise them.
Every ship apart from the hospital ship (in accordance with international law) advance turned their lights off, as the vessels made their way towards their enemy. It was then the hospital ship encountered an actual ship of Japanese origin. The time was, finally, upon the Russians to destroy the Japanese fleet and win the war! After so long, the Japanese were finally in range. Sadly though, the Russians did not learn anything. When the hospital ship contacted the Japanese, it told them in Morse code to be careful of the other Russian ships in the area. The Japanese then went and decimated the Russians at the Battle of Tsushima.
