On January 26, 1904, at 23:35, the Japanese fleet, without declaring war, launched a massive attack on the ships stationed in the outer roadstead of Port Arthur. And 12 hours later, on January 27, 1904 at 11:45, 250 kilometers from Port Arthur, in Chemulpo Bay, two Russian ships will fight to the death: the cruiser 'Varyag' and the gunboat 'Koreets'. Two against fourteen... One hundred and fifty-five guns against forty-three.—Tango Papa
