Japanese cruiser Akashi : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese cruiser Akashi
was a protected cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She was a sister ship to . The name ''Akashi'' comes from an ancient name for a portion of the coastline near the modern city of Kobe in Hyōgo Prefecture. ==Background== ''Akashi'' was designed and built at Yokosuka Naval Arsenal, as part of an Imperial Japanese Navy program to end its dependence on foreign powers for modern warships, using an all-Japanese design and all-Japanese materials.〔Schencking, ''Making Waves'';〕 Construction took four years, from 1892–1896. She was laid down on 6 August 1894, launched on 18 December 1897 and completed on 30 March 1899.〔Nishida, ''Ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy''〕 While more lightly armed and armored than many of the cruiser's contemporaries, her small size and relatively simple design facilitated the vessel's construction and the ship's relatively high speed made her useful for many military operations. However, as with most Japanese designs of the period, she proved to be top-heavy and had issues with seaworthiness and stability.〔Jentsura, ''Warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy''; page 99〕
