Prince Pavel Petrovich Ukhtomsky (Russian: ??´??? ?????´??? ????´????? June 10, 1848 - 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.
His family traced their lineage to the Rurik Dynasty, and had been moderately prominent boyars in the Muscovite period.
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.
Lt.
Commander Newton 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"
