With Chitose dead in the water she signalled the 3 remaining PC's Kasagi, Yoshino, and Takasago, to detached themselves from her and finish off Tseravitch, the japanese could see the Adzuma in her death throes and were determined to exact a measure of revenge, ringing up full speed the ships charged at the Russian battleship, now dead in the water, not one gun fired on them as they approached.
Comming in on the port side and ahead they turned to starboard and launched torpedoes.
In all, 6 torpedoes hit the battleship, these were to sound the death knell for the ship, one of them, passed through a previous hole and exploded inside the vessel, the pressure wave tore the internal bulheads to peices, and blasted water tight doors from their hinges. 47 more brave sailors were drowned trying to save the ship. The seniour surviving engineering officer (a juniour leiutenant) made his way to the bridge to report to the captain that all hope was now lost for the battleship. The ship now listed 8 degrees to port.
