The rupture of diplomatic relations by Japan on February 6, 1904, was coincident with the dispatch of the first expedition to the theater of operations. On this date Vice-Admiral Togo left Sasebo with a fleet of 7 battle ships, 18 cruisers, a flotilla of destroyers and one of torpedo boats, conveying the transports Tairen, Otaru, and Heijo, carrying troops belonging to the Twelfth Division.
The squadron rendezvoused off Mokpo (southern Korea) on the next day, and from that point Togo sent Rear-Admiral Uryu; with 4 cruisers and a torpedo-boat flotilla, to convoy the transports to Chemulpo, the port of Seoul, and sailed for Port Arthur with the remainder of the fleet. . .
