2. Surprisingly, the Russian Baltic Fleet was destroyed in the Sea of Japan by the Japanese fleet. Guess they should have stayed in the Baltic Sea but the Czar moved the fleet to the Pacific in the Russo-Japanese war. The strategic moved backfired spectacularly with a total rout by Japan. With the fleet destroyed, Russia soon after sued for peace.

Little bit of David and Goliath then, ScarletDragon Lady K, michele, flotsam - good calls! You're a brave man, flotsam - I hear the sound of chickens being plucked, and smell tar being boiled...

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Not this time, michele. It is an actor - think 80s cop series. I'll take the character he's playing here if you like... Dosn't tie up with mine, manxman.
