A single cruiser had more artillery than their entire battery.

>After an extraordinary charge across the frozen Zuiderzee, the French cavalry captured 14 Dutch ships and 850 guns.[2] This capture of ships by horsemen is a unique feat in military history.[3][4]

Get over yourself you fucking cunt faggot and stop posting this reddit-tier humour. KYS

The journey of the Russian Baltic Fleet in 1904 is probably the most ridiculous series of incidents that have ever happened in military history.
http://www.hullwebs.co.uk/content/l-20c/disaster/dogger-bank/voyage-of-dammed.htm
TL;DR
>have to sail all the way from the Baltic to Vladivostok the long way round
>out of a fear of Japanese torpedo boats potentially patrolling the North Sea, fire at British fishing ships killing multiple fishermen and causing the entire Royal Navy Home Fleet to shadow them
>gunners so poor that few people killed despite 500 shells being fired
>the British refuse to allow the Russians to use Suez so now they have to circumnavigate Africa
>accidentally cut the transatlantic cable near Tangiers blocking communication with Europe for 4 days
>take on double coal and as a result of the humidity dozens of crew die from respiratory illnesses
>more panic as wrong signals sent suggesting that torpedo boats are attacking off Africa
>captive wild animals loose on the decks attacking the crew after they get loose
>refrigiration breaks down causing the smell of rotting meat to attract dozens of sharks to the fleet
>find out as they go round Africa that Port Arthur, the only Russian naval base they could use has now been taken by the Japanese
>can't go back, can go only go forwards and engage the enemy
>can't even use British ports in the Indian Ocean due to the prior incident
>piss off the French instead
>sit in Madagascar for months while half the crew dies of malaria and the ships fail
>commander is seriously ill, half the crew just wanders off to local brothels catching venereal diseases
>a military salute backfires as a real shell is loaded, it hits another of the Russian ships
>low on shells due to the "battle", supply ship is only carrying fur coats and shoes
>battle practice, entire fleet fails to hit a single stationary target besides the towship
>disembark Madagascar and eventually lose the Battle of Tsushima
That's the TL;DR
