Could the Japanese have captured and kept more ships of the Russian Baltic fleet than the sunk or the Russians scuttled?

If the Dogger Bank incident escalated and Britain went after the Baltic fleet itself, could the British have captured more of its ships than it sunk or the Russians scuttled?

What would the best use of the captured vessels for Japan or Britain have been?

It is my understanding that the Russian hardware may have had some flaws but that weak officers and crews were the bigger problem, so it seems salvageable hardware could be more formidable in the hands of others.
