Steregushchii

a Russian torpedo boat that sank in a heroic battle during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05. The keel of the Steregushchii was laid in 1900, and the ship was commissioned in 1903. It had a displacement of 240 tons and a speed of 26.5 knots (48 km/hr). Its armament consisted of one 75-mm gun and three 47-mm guns and two torpedo launchers. It carried a crew of four officers and 48 men.

On Feb. 26 (Mar. 10), 1904, the Steregushchii, commanded by Lieutenant A. S. Sergeev, was following behind the Reshitel’nyi, another Russian torpedo boat, on a return trip to Port Arthur from a nighttime reconnaissance to the Elliot and Blonde islands. At approximately 6 A.M., both ships were victims of a surprise attack by four Japanese torpedo boats, which were later reinforced by two more. The Reshitel’nyi reached Port Arthur, but the Steregushchii, a slower vessel, lagged behind and was cut off by the enemy. For more than two hours, the Steregushchii, led by its wounded commander, carried on an unequal struggle. Though disabled by a shell, the ship continued firing and damaged two of the Japanese attackers. Sergeev perished, and Lieutenant N. S. Goloviznin assumed command of the ship. The Japanese decided to seize the half-sunk Steregushchii and dispatched a launch to take the Russian ship in tow. Unwilling to surrender their ship to the enemy, the two Russian seamen who were still alive opened the sea cocks and went down with the ship.

A monument by the sculptor K. V. Izenberg was erected in St. Petersburg in 1911 to commemorate the heroic feat of the Steregushchii.
