That's impressive.

I'm now wondering how fucking useless the Russian navy would be fighting a nation that also had a navy.

For an amusing read on how well their navy did against the Japanese, in 1905, check out Battle of Tsushima.

The Russians lost 5.045 and 21 ships (more captured and/or damaged). Japan lost 117 and 3 torpedo boats.

Here's an entertaining video on their journey to Japan.

Can you please elaborate how one can lose a decimal value of ships?
