Heihachiro Togo , 1846-1934, Japanese admiral, Japan's greatest naval hero. He studied naval science in England (1871-78), gained international recognition for his service in the First Sino-Japanese War , and contributed greatly to the development of Japanese sea power. In the Russo-Japanese War he defeated the Russian fleet at Port Arthur in 1904 and destroyed the Russian Baltic fleet in 1905 at the battle of Tsushima . This historic battle broke Russian strength in East Asia. Later he was chief of the naval general staff and a member of the supreme war council.
