Chinese cruiser Yangwei : ウィキペディア英語版 | Chinese cruiser Yangwei
''Yangwei'' () was a cruiser in the late Qing Dynasty Beiyang Fleet. Its sister ship was . The Imperial Japanese Navy warship was built to the same designs. ==Background== The design for ''Yangwei'' was advertised by its designer British naval architect Sir George Wightwick Rendel〔Wright, R.N.J. (2000), p.47.〕 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.
