List of warships sunk during the Russo-Japanese War This is a list of warships sunk during the Russo-Japanese War .Causes of Japanese and Russian Warships sunk during the war Although submarines, torpedoes, torpedo boats , and steel battleships had existed for many years, the Russo-Japanese war was the first conflict to see mature forms of these weapon systems deployed in large numbers. Over a hundred of the newly invented torpedo boats and nearly the same number of torpedo boat destroyers were involved. The Imperial Russian Navy would become the first navy in history to possess an independent operational submarine fleet on 1 January 1905. With this submarine fleet making its first combat patrol on 14 February 1905, and its first clash with enemy surface warships on 29 April 1905, all this nearly a decade before World War I even began. During the course of the war, the Imperial Russian Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy would launch nearly 300 self-propelled automotive torpedoes at one another. Dozens of warships would be hit and damaged, but only 1 battleship, 2 armoured cruisers, and 2 destroyers would be permanently sunk. Another 80 plus warships would be destroyed by the traditional gun, mine, or other cause. The Russian battleship Oslyabya was the first modern battleship sunk by gunfire alone, and Admiral Rozhestvensky's flagship, the battleship Knyaz Suvorov was the first modern battleship sunk by the new "torpedo" on the high seas.Vessel type and cause of loss[Olender p. 234] Battleships lost to naval gunfire – 3 IRN Battleships lost to land/shore batteries – 4 IRN Battleships lost to combination of gunfire & torpedoes – 2 IRN Battleships lost to strictly torpedoes – 1 IRN Battleships lost to mines – 1 IRN/2 IJN Cruisers lost to naval gunfire – 5 IRN Cruisers lost to land/shore batteries – 3 IRN Cruisers lost to mines – 1 IRN/4 IJN Destroyers lost to naval gunfire – 6 IRN/3 IJN Destroyers lost to shore batteries – 3 IRN Destroyers lost to gunfire & torpedoes – 1 IJN Destroyers lost to torpedoes – 2 IRN Destroyers lost to mines – 3 IRN/3 IJN Auxiliary cruisers lost to naval gunfire – 1 IRN Auxiliary Cruisers lost to shore batteries – 1 IRN Auxiliary Gunboats lost to mines – 1 IJN Minelayers lost to shore batteries – 1 IRN Minelayers lost to mines – 1 IRN Submarines – 3 lost to scuttling & 1 lost by shipwreck IRN The above data includes vessels that were sunk and consequently salvaged and put back into service by either combatant.

By 1884 Russia lead the world in numbers of the newly invented torpedo boats and torpedo boat destroyers with 115 such vessels. By 1904, the IRN was a first rate navy, but by the end of 1905, Russia was reduced to a third rate naval power.Warship type, name, and date of loss[Watts, pp. 38–150] The list below excludes captured, surrendered, or sunken warships that were raised and put back into service by either combatant.
