For an amusing read on how well their navy did against the Japanese, in 1905, check out Battle of Tsushima.

The Russians lost 5.045 and 21 ships (more captured and/or damaged). Japan lost 117 and 3 torpedo boats.

Here's an entertaining video on their journey to Japan.

Can you please elaborate how one can lose a decimal value of ships?

Some countries reverse commas vs periods. 5.599,99, almost 5600
