THE BATTLE OF TCHESME
July 5-6, 1770
1. INTRODUCTlON
At 11:45 the Ottoman f1eet opened fire on the
Russian van; a short time later, the Russians
replied and the action became general
desultory-though it was not until 12:30 that
Elphinstone's ships drew within range. Spiridov,
in the Sveti Evstafi, sailed along the Ottoman line
very slowly with his main topsail aback. By the
time he reached the head of the enemy line, his
rigging was so badly cut up that he was unable to
go about and, in the absence of smaller boats to
tow him around, drifted alongside the leading
Qttoman ship, the Real Mustafa, under personal
command of Hassan. The fate of Spiridov and
Hassan, with their ships locked together and their
crews engaged in a furious melee, was the object
of rapt attention by every captain in the combined
f1eets. Suddenly, the Ottoman f1agship was seen
to be on fire; the f1ames spread quickly. At 1:30,
the blazing mainmast of the Real Mustafa fell
aboard the Sveti Evstafi and al once the Russian
ship blew up. The stricken Turkish warship lasted
a few minutes and then blew up in turno From the
Russian f1agship, Spiridov was rescued by a small
boat, Kruse (her nominal captain) was picked up
fram the water later and, altogether, 63 were
saved from a crew of 699 men. Hassan was saved
fram the Real Mustafa, but the loss in that ship
among the crewmen was truly staggering.
This double disaster was the signal for
Qttoman captains to retreat; they stipped, in con-
fusion, into the harbor of Tchesme. In her hurry,
one Turkish ship of the line cut her cable but left
the spring intact, giving the Russian opposite, the
Trech lerarchov, a chance to rake her. By 2:00 in

SCENARIO L-3
THE BATTLE OF TENDRA
September 8, 1790
I. INTRODUCTION
The Ottoman fleet at once weighed anchor and
began to form line on the port side while
Ushakov, with his fleet still in its "order of sail-
ing" in three lines, steered for the enemy's Rear
Squadron. Seeing this threatened, Hussein Pasha
ordered his fleet to wear in succession and form
line on the starboard side. Ushakov therefore,
after unifying his three columns into a single line
to port, imitated the Ottoman maneuver and put
his fleet parallel to the enemy and to windward.
By the time these evolutions were completed, two
hours had passed and the Russian force was
disposed in line of battle paralle!. The Turks had
fourteen ships of the line and eight frigates to
leeward; the Russians, ten ships ofthe line and six
frigates. Before bearing up to the attack, Ushakov
took a frigate from each squadron-the Pokrov
Bogoroditsy, Sv. leronik and loann Voinstvennik
-and stationed them to windward of his van as a
precaution against a possible attempt at "doubl-
ing" on the part of the Turkish admira!.
Firing began at 3:00. The Ottoman Turks soon
began to bear away and by six o'clock, after some
heavy fire, were in full retreat before the wind.
The Russians followed closely, inflicting a good
deal of damage. In particular, the flagship of the
Ottoman Vice-Admiral was engaged by the loann
Bogos/ov while the ships of the Kapudan Pasha
and his Rear-Admiral by Ushakov in the
Rozhdestvo Christovo and his next ahead, the
Preobrazhenie Gospodne. Gradually, however,
the better sailing of the Ottoman ships began to
tell. They drew clear and hauled lO the wind on the
port side, heading west; soon after dusk, firing
ceased.
Next morning, the Ottoman ships were
spotted working to windward. Most of these were
out of reach, but two which had been damaged on
the previous day, the Kapitania and the Melike
Bahri were still to the leeward. The latter sur-
rendered without a fight. The Kapitania, on the
other hand, made a slOut fight. She was engaged
first by the Sv. Andrei Pervosvannyi, which
brought down her fore topsail, and then bracket-
ted by the Sv. Georgii Povyedonsets and the
Preobrazhenie Gospodne. By this point, the Turk
was entirely surrounded by the Russian fleet, but
still fought on. At last, Ushakov brought the
Rozhdestvo Christovo in, shot away all her masts
and placed his ship across her bows. This decided
the matter; Said Bey, in command of the Turkish
vessel, struck his colors after a splendid defence.
Greatly to the disappointment of the Russians,
the prize was seen to be on fire, which spread so
rapidly that only Said Bey and nineteen others
could be taken off before she blew up. Of a crew
of nearly 800, only 8 I survived.
The total number of prisoners taken by the
Russians amounted to 733; total casualties among
the Turks is unknown but was increased by the
foundering of a 74-gun SOL and several small
craft on the passage to Constantinople, amassing
a figure of at least 2000 dead among the Turkish
sailors for the voyage. The Russians, on the other
hand, had only 25 dead and 25 wounded but there
was considerable damage on some ships, primarily
confined lO their spars and rigging.

SCENARIO L-4
THE BATTLE OF CAPE KALIAKRA
August 11, 1791
I. INTRODUCTION
The Russians had eighteen ships mounting 990
guns, while the Ottoman fleet numbered eighteen
ships of the line, ten large frigates, seven smaller
frigates and 43 lesser warships and galleys with
some 1600 guns spread amongst the fleet: a
Turkish superiority of fifty per cent. (The
Ottoman frigate squadron is not shown in this
already large scenario since it played a minor role
in the action.)
As the wind was northerly, Ushakov had one
of two courses of action available-either go to
leeward of the enemy or pass closely by the shore.
To the surprise of the Turks, he chose the latter,
rounding the cape at 2:45 in the afternoon, still in
three lines, and pressing on among the smaller
enemy craft. The Ottomans at once cut their
cables and tried to form a line of battle, but fell
into utter confusion. Two large ships collided;
one lost her bowsprite and ran for Varna, the
other remained with the fleet, though merely an
encumbrance. At last, however, Sayyid Ali Pasha
maneuvered his ship away on the port side,
heading east with the wind NNE; the other ships
of the line followed his lead and in the end the
larger Ottoman vessels formed into line on the
port tack, steering out to sea.
This led to a rather complicated evolution on
the part of the Russians: a change of formation
from three lines on the starboard side to one line
on the port, with each division in rever sed order
and with the former center column in the van.
Before this was sufficiently complete for a general
attack, Sayyid Ali Pasha, leading the Ottoman
line, went about with the intention of doubling the
embryonic enemy van; whereupon Ushakov left
his place in the line, passed to leeward of the three
leading Russian ships and attacked the Turks at
close quarters, crossing their bows and forcing
them to leeward. After a few hard fought
minutes, the rest of the Russian fleet bore up to
the attack and the action became genera!.
Gradually the Ottoman ships moved away, so
that when darkness fell and put an end to the
fighting, they were retreating to the southwest.
Next morning, 12 August, they could be seen well
on their way towards the Bosphorus; there was no
chance of overhauling them, and Ushakov
anchored off Cape Emineh, thirty miles south of
Varna. Neither side had lost a ship, though several
of the Turkish ships had suffered severe damage
aloft and the Russian A/eksandr Nevskii was a
good deal damaged in her hull, and casualties
were few among the sailors.

SCENARIO L-S
THE BATTLE OF
THE DARDANELLES
May 22-23, 1807
I. INTRODUCTION
That morning the two fleets lay at anchor well
in sight of one another until the wind suddenly
carne from the northwest. The Ottoman fleet
immediately weighed anchor and steered out of
the sheltered waters of the Dardanelles while the
wind gradually veered to the west.
The Venus opened fire on the foremost of the
Ottoman ships of the line at six o' clock and the
rest of the Russians joined in as they carne up. By
keeping under the stern of their heavier
opponents, the Venus was able to engage a ship of
the line and the 74-gun Se/afail to attack the
Kapudan Pasha's 120-gun flagship Masudiya
with comparative safety. The Urii/, however,
went across the bows of the Turkish second-in-
command and actually carried away her boom in
so doing. Senyavin in the Tverdyi carne up
between the Ottoman Rear-Admiral Baker Bey
and the Kapudan Pasha, engaging the latter
broadside to broadside at close range, while the
Si/nyi ran right aboard Baker Bey's ship.
When night fell, the two fleets were intermixed
right in the mouth of the straits, where there was a
tendency for the current to carry the ships on the
Asiatic side out to sea and to force those on the
European side towards the shore. Following the
example of their commander, the Ottoman cap-
tains sailed up the straits, though three of their
ships remained outside on the Asiatic shore
aground. The general action ended about nine
o'clock, but there was sporadic fighting for
another two hours. Soon after midnight the
Russians anchored just clear of the mouth of the
straits.
On the morning of the 23rd, the three grounded
Ottoman ships of the line were seen to be making
the best of their way to safety, two of them towed
by oared craft. At 10:00, when at length the wind
rose, Senyavin weighed anchor and sent the
Retvizan, Se/afai/, SkorYi, Yaros/avand Venusto
cut them off. These failed to do so, but damaged
them enough to cause all three to run aground
again. The Russian fleet, having exhausted its
munitions, then returned to its anchorage off
Tenedos.
Altogether the Russian los s was but 26 killed
and 56 wounded, with some damage to every ship;
by Russian accounts, the Turkish loss had been
much greater and three of their ships were
rendered unfit for further service. It is said that
the Ottoman Vice-Admiral and two captains were
executed by order of the Kapudan Pasha.

THE BATTLE OF ATHOS
JURe 27,1807
I. INTRODUCTlON
As the two leading Russian ships, the Rajail
and the Silnyi, approached, the whole Oltoman
fleet opened fire. The Rajail was soon so badly
damaged aloft that she was unable to come to the
wind and had lo stand on through the Oltoman
line belween lhe Kapudan Pasha's flagship
Masudiya and his next ahead, lhe Sadd al-Bahr,
flagship of the Baker Bey. The next five Russian
ships were, however, able lo take up their places
as arranged in a close line abreast of the three
Turkish flagships.
Senyavin took the Tverdyi and Skoryi lo lhe
head of the line and dispatched his second-in-
command Greig with the Retvizan and Sv. Elena
to fill the gap between them and the other five
Russian ships, lhus bringing nine Russian ships of
the line in the Ottoman rear for the moment
withoul opponenls. The Tverdyi's fire soon drove
the leading enemy frigate out of lhe aClion,
whereupon the ship following her hove to, stop-
ping the momentum of lhe whole line and lhrow-
ing it into confusion. This allowed the Rajail, now
under asemblance of control, to run along the line
to leeward and haul to the wind in an effort to
regain her own line. The first Oltoman ship bore
up to intercept her, Senyavin followed suit, and
the Oltoman ship found herself 100 fully
employed lo trouble the crippled enemy. The
Rajail was th us able to reach a position ahead and
to windward of the line, where she could carry out
such repairs as were necessary without inter-
ference.
Meanwhile, the Oltoman van had begun lo
bear away and the Sadd al-Bahr had come into ac-
tion with the Tverdyi. She too was soon forced to
break off and went to leeward closely engaged
with the Skoryi, which was at the same time in
action with a ship of the line and a frigate on her
other side. The ships from the Oltoman rear now
carne up, bearing away one after lhe other as they
fired. By ten o'clock, the Turkish ships were in
~ THE BATTLE OF VARNA
~
retreal with the Skoryi and the Moshtchnyi
mingled with lhem and the olher Russian ships
striving to pursue in a ragged crescent formation.
After a liltle while, a light breeze sprang up
from the northwest and put lhe Turks to wind·
ward. As it freshened, the Sadd al-Bahr, with
another ship of the line, a frigate and a sloop were
seen to drop behind. Towards evening Senyavin
sent Selajail, Silnyi and Sv. Elena in pursuit; as
these approached, the lighter ships-which were
towing lhe crippled flagship-cast off their lines
and retreated with the other Turkish ship of the
line in a westerly direction. During lhe night the
Selajail carne up with lhe Sadd al-Bahr and took
her without further fighting.
On the morning of 28 June, the bulk of lhe
Oltoman fleet was at Thasos and three stragglers
near Mount Athos. Greig, with the Retviazn, the
Uriil, lhe Sv. Elena and lhe Moshtchnyiwent after
the three enemy ships to leeward, drove them up
the gulfto lhe wesl ofMount Athos and finally, in
lhe early hours on 29 June, forced the Turks to
run their ships aground at lhe head of the gulf and
burn them. Though there was to be no more
fighting, this was by no means the end of the tale
of Oltoman losses: they burnt another ship of the
line and a frigate on the 301h off Thasos, while
two more frigates and a corvelte san k near
Samothrace on the voyage back to the
Dardanelles. The Oltoman Navy had suffered an
ignominious and costly defeat.

August 29, 1810
I. INTRODUCTlON
At dawn, the Oltomans could be seen 10 the
SSE, in obvious disorder. Hoping to weather them,
Sarytchev decided to go about to the port tack and,
at first, il seemed that he would do so; but, at six
a.m., the wind veered and put the Oltomans directly
lo windward. They made no move to altack, but
went on working to windward with the Russians in
pursuit, while Sarytchev detached his fastest ships,
the Dmitrii Donskoi, Poltava, Maria and Lilia,
under his second-in-command, Rear-Admiral
Klokatchev, in the hope lhat they mighl be able to
overtake the slowest of the Oltoman ships and thus
force an action.
At five in the afternoon, afler a chase lasting all
day, Kloatchev had gained enough to have a chance
of culting off the last lwo Oltoman ships, a ship of
the line and a frigate. He ordered the ship closest to
lhe enemy, the Anapa, to attack with that object.
At the same time lhe Turkish commander also went
about and ran back lo supporl his threatened rear.
This forced the Anapa lo bear up and pass 10
leeward ofthe enemy. A few shots were exchanged,
but Sarylchev declined to risk a nighl action and
signalled at six o'clock to recall his advanced
detachment. During lhe night, instead of keeping in
touch with lhe enemy, he merely lried to keep
belween them and the port ofVarna. The resull was
thal at dawn on 30 August, the Ottomans were
nowhere to be seen. Presuming thal they had
returned to the Bosphorus, he then made the besl of
his way to Sevastopol, where he arrived on 8
September.

Although lhe Turks had suffered a selback al
