Best Answer

The Potemkin was a battleship stationed with the Black Sea Fleet. Russia's other two fleets; the Pacific Fleet and the Baltic Fleet (re-designated the 2nd Pacific Fleet while enroute to Tsushima) were destroyed during the Battles of Port Arthur and Tsushima. When word reached the Black Sea Fleet, including the battleship Potemkin, this news ignited the already tensed up sailors into a mutiny. The enlisted sailors over powered their officers and commandered the ship across the sea, where a long sea chase ensued. It was eventually captured, and some of the mutineers were shot.
