This was reported on February 25 in the press service of the Pacific Fleet.

It is specified that as a sign of the memory of the heroes, a wreath was lowered onto the water, and a minute of silence was declared on the ships.

"Passing through such memorable places, you always feel an inexhaustible sense of pride for the exploits of our ancestors who showed heroism and courage in the Battle of Tsushima, and you also feel a great sense of responsibility, since we are entrusted with such tasks as demonstrating the St. Andrew's flag and protecting the sea borders," said Lieutenant Konstantin Skorokhod, officer of the Sharp corvette.
