shortly after the battle.

Gunnery Note
The Russians fired approximately 3,000 rounds during the battle. Admiral Makarov had about ninety 8-inch and half her 6-inch shells remaining at the end of the fighting.
Damage Note
Admiral Makarov was hit by one 8.8
cm shell from Albatross which did slight damage and wounded one
crewman.
Bayan was hit by one 21 cm shell
from Roon on the hull side and mine deck damaging the amidships
area. Two men were slightly wounded.
Rurik was hit by ten 10.5 cm shells
from Lübeck which damaged the deck, funnels and officer's cabins.
Fumes from the bursters caused a temporary evacuation of one of the 10-inch
turrets. A salvo landing close off the bow threw so much water on
deck that the rangefinder apparatus on the command bridge was damaged.
Roon made a further hit on Rurik with a 21 cm shell which
damaged the aft conning tower and destroyed the adjoining superstructure.
