Participated in 1904 July 28 in the attempt of an escadre of ships to break through to Vladivostok in 1904. July 28. Since 1904 September 18 Port Arthur and the Russian ships began to be shelled by Japanese heavy artillery. November 25 in the evening the “Sevastopol” proved to be the only large ship of the escadre, fit for battle. At night he was taken to an outer raid and established himself in the Bay of White Wolves. Up to 30 Japanese destroyers took part in the 6-night torpedo attacks on the “Sevastopol”, which fired over 80 torpedoes at the battleship. On the night of December 3 one of the torpedoes hit the stern of the ship. The ship landed on the ground and tilted.
