Japanese cruiser Yaeyama : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese cruiser Yaeyama
was an unprotected cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The name ''Yaeyama'' comes from the Yaeyama Islands, the southernmost of the three island groups making up current Okinawa prefecture. ''Yaeyama'' was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy primarily as an ''aviso'' (dispatch boat) for scouting, reconnaissance and delivery of high priority messages. ==Background== ''Yaeyama'' was designed under the supervision of French military advisor Emile Bertin, and built in Japan by the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal. Her engine, a three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine supplied a pair of six cylindrical boilers was imported from Hawthorn Leslie and Company in England. With a small displacement, powerful engines, and a speed, the heavily armed and lightly armored ''Yaeyama'' was an example of the ''Jeune Ecole'' philosophy of naval warfare advocated by Bertin.〔Roksund, ''The Jeune École: The Strategy of the Weak'';〕 Due to its small size it is sometimes classified as a corvette or gunboat.
