Shikishima-class battleship
The was a two-ship class of pre-dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy in the late 1890s. As Japan lacked the industrial capacity to build such warships herself, they were designed and built in the UK. The ships participated in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905, including the Battle of Port Arthur on the second day of the war. ''Hatsuse'' sank after striking two mines off Port Arthur in May 1904. ''Shikishima'' fought in the Battles of the Yellow Sea and Tsushima and was lightly damaged in the latter action, although shells prematurely exploded in the barrels of her main guns in each battle. The ship was reclassified as a coastal defence ship in 1921 and served as a training ship for the rest of her career. She was disarmed and hulked in 1923 and finally broken up for scrap in 1948.
==Design and description==
Combat experience in the First Sino-Japanese War convinced the Imperial Japanese Navy of weaknesses in the Jeune Ecole naval philosophy, and Japan embarked on a program to modernize and expand its fleet. As with the earlier ''Fuji''-class battleships, Japan lacked the technology and capability to construct its own battleships, and turned again to the United Kingdom. They were ordered as part of the Ten Year Naval Expansion Programme and paid for from the £30,000,000 indemnity paid by China after losing the Sino-Japanese War of 1894–1895.〔Brook 1999, p. 125〕
The design of the ''Shikishima'' class was a modified and improved version of the s of the Royal Navy. They had the same armament and similar machinery as the ''Fuji'' class which was intended to allow them to work together as a homogenous group.〔 The ''Shikishima''-class ships had an overall length of , a beam of , and a normal draught of . They displaced at normal load.〔 The hull had a double bottom and was subdivided into 261 watertight compartments.〔 The crew numbered about 741 officers and enlisted men,〔Jentschura, Jung & Mickel, p. 17〕 although this increased to 849 when serving as a flagship.〔
