The second book in the series “The Adventure of Admiral Nebogatov”. Having taken command after the death of Rozhestvensky, Rear Admiral Nebogatov, contrary to instructions from St. Petersburg, “divides” the squadron into two parts and, with the most modern ships, successfully breaks through the Tsushima Strait. A team of proactive naval officers is being formed around Nebogatov, who have creatively rethought modern warfare at sea. Submarines and minefields help thwart the Japanese United Fleet's attempt to bombard Vladivostok, and the formation of a Pacific Fleet marine division begins for the landing on Hokkaido.
