In the meantime, the coast defense ship had fallen well behind Nebogatov's ships and was spotted by the protected cruiser early in the morning, but the Japanese were more intent on locating the main body of the Russian fleet than attacking a single isolated ship. "Admiral Ushakov" was then spotted at 14:10, well after Nebogatov's surrender, by Shimamura who received permission to pursue her with his flagship, the armored cruiser , and "Yakumo". They caught up with the Russian ship at 17:00 and demanded her surrender. "Admiral Ushakov" attempted to close the range to bring the Japanese cruisers within range of her guns, but they were fast enough to keep the range open and the Russian ship never hit either one. After about half an hour, "Admiral Ushakov" was listing heavily enough that her guns could not elevate enough to bear, and her commander ordered his crew to abandon ship and the scuttling charges detonated. The ship sank in three minutes and 12 officers and 327 crewmen were rescued by the Japanese. Between them, "Yakumo" and "Iwate" fired 89 eight- and 278 six-inch shells during the engagement. Over the course of the entire battle, "Yakumo" was struck by a single twelve-inch shell and six others, of which three or four were six inches in size. They inflicted only minor damage.
