Grigory Ivanovich Mulovsky is killed at Öland before he can lead what was intended to be Russia's first circumnavigation. Ivan Kruzenshtern later fulfils that ambition, connecting the Baltic battle with Russian global voyaging. Three Swedish ships are taken away by tugs, and the fleet eventually withdraws to Karlskrona. Russia then uses control of the Baltic to blockade Hanko and Porkkala. The loss of an officer with an important exploration assignment accompanies an operational Russian success after a tactical draw.
