Pavel Petrovich Ukhtomsky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this name that follows Eastern Slavic naming customs, the patronymic is Petrovich and the family name is Ukhtomsky.
Prince Pavel Petrovich Ukhtomsky (Russian: Па́вел Петро́вич Ухто́мский 10 June 1848 – 14 October 1910) was a career naval officer in the Imperial Russian Navy, noted for his action at the Battle of the Yellow Sea in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. He was held in scant respect by his colleagues, who felt that his rank and position owed more to family connections than any competence or ability.[1] Lt. Commander Newton A. McCully, American Naval attaché in Port Arthur through much of the siege noted that Ukhtomsky "was not esteemed as particularly able, but was considered a Russian patriot, and had the credit with the fleet of having forced Admiral Vitgeft to make the sortie of June 23"[2]
