''Wakamiya'' ((日本語:若宮丸, later 若宮艦)) was a seaplane carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy and the first Japanese aircraft carrier. She was converted from a transport ship into a seaplane carrier and commissioned in August 1914. She was equipped with four Japanese-built French Maurice Farman seaplanes (motorized with Renault engines). In September 1914, she conducted the world's first naval-launched air raids. ==Early career== ''Wakamiya'' was initially the Russian freighter ''Lethington'', built by Duncan in Port Glasgow, United Kingdom, laid down in 1900 and launched 21 September 1900. She was captured on a voyage from Cardiff to Vladivostok during the Russo-Japanese war near Okinoshima in 1905 by the Japanese torpedo boat ''TB No. 72''. She was acquired by the Japanese government, renamed ''Takasaki-Maru'' until given the official name of ''Wakamiya-Maru'' on 1 September, and from 1907 was managed as a transport ship by NYK.〔(Source NYK )〕 In 1913 she was transferred to the Imperial Japanese Navy and converted to a seaplane carrier, being completed on 17 August 1914. She was a 7,720-ton ship, with a complement of 234. She had two seaplanes on deck and two in reserve. They could be lowered onto the water with a crane, whence they would take off, and then be retrieved from the water once their mission was completed.
