Japanese cruiser Naniwa : ウィキペディア英語版
Japanese cruiser Naniwa

was the lead ship of the s, built in the Newcastle upon Tyne-based Armstrong Whitworth Elswick shipyard in the United Kingdom. Together with her sister ship, , these were the first protected cruisers acquired by the Imperial Japanese Navy.〔Evans, ''Kaigun'', p. 14.〕 The name ''Naniwa'' comes from an ancient name for Osaka, which appears in the Nara period chronicle ''Nihon Shoki''. She played a major role in the First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895.
==Background==
The revolutionary design of the “Elswick” protected cruiser, initially developed as a private-venture by Armstrong Whitworth in the mid-1880s, and implemented in the cruiser ''Esmeralda'' for the Chilean Navy (subsequently purchased by Japan as ) was of great interest to Japan because of its high speed, powerful armament, armor protection and relatively low cost, especially since the Imperial Japanese Navy lacked the resources at the time to purchase modern pre-dreadnought battleships.〔Brooke, ''Warships for Export'' page 58-60〕 Pioneering Japanese naval architect Sasō Sachū requested that Armstrong Whitworth make modifications to the ''Esmeralda'' design to customize it for Japanese requirements, and two vessels, ''Naniwa'' and ''Takachiho'' were ordered under the 1883 fiscal year budget. When completed, ''Naniwa'' was considered the most advanced and most powerful cruiser in the world.〔Evans, ''Kaigun'', p. 15.〕〔Jentsura, ''Warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy'';〕
