Yeah. The Russo-Japanese War was an epic fail for the Russians.

Also, I will credit US sail age ships with one thing: they were fast. Other than that, nothing really special about them.

The Spanish built a lot of REALLY big ships. I mean, they built the largest ship-of-the-line ever; the Santissima Trinidad. A 144 gun beast.

The Brits, well, let's just say they had 125+ ships-of-the-line at one point. 'Nuff said. Plus, they had great sailors and admirals to lead them. Their ships were pretty good, too.

The French, well, IDK about them.
