Japanese cruiser Tsukushi
was an early unprotected cruiser, serving in the fledgling Imperial Japanese Navy. Its name is a traditional name for Kyūshū island. Its sister ships and were acquired by the Chinese Beiyang Fleet.
==Background==
The design for ''Tsukushi'' was advertised by its designer British naval architect Sir George Wightwick Rendel〔Richard N.J. Wright: ''The Chinese Steam Navy, 1862–1945''. London: Chatham Publishing, 2001. ISBN 1-86176-144-9. p.47 and ''Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1860–1905'', p.411. Sources often credit erroneously Edward James Reed as her designer (e.g. ''Conway's...'' p.233).〕 at the Armstrong Whitworth shipyards at Newcastle upon Tyne in England as an example of a low-cost cruiser able to withstand larger Ironclad warships. In theory, the ship would rely on its small size and higher speed, along with a higher muzzle velocity main battery to attack larger, more cumbersome foes – very similar to the principles of Jeune Ecole, as promoted by French naval architect Émile Bertin. However, the British Admiralty was very skeptical of the idea, and had concerns over the seaworthiness of the design in the North Sea, and did not order any of the design for the Royal Navy. Armstrong Whitworth turned to overseas clients instead; however, rapid technological advances in ship design and naval artillery (with the advent of large calibre quick-firing guns) rendered the design with its weak armor and small guns obsolete within a few years.
