The two were a class of small, high-speed, dispatch ships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Although classified officially rated as a ''tsūhōkan'', meaning dispatch boat or aviso, the class were essentially small protected cruisers. The ''Yodo'' class was followed by the larger, more conventional .〔Conway, '' Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1905–1922'', page 236〕 ==Background== The ''Yodo''-class cruisers were designed and built domestically in Japan, having been ordered as part of the 1904 Emergency Fleet Replenishment Program to recover from losses to the Japanese navy from the Russo-Japanese War but were not laid down until after the war had ended with the Treaty of Portsmouth due to delays in construction. The class consisted of two vessels; the leadship of the class, the was named after the Yodo River outside Osaka, Japan and was laid down in Kawasaki Shipyards in Kobe in 1906. ''Yodo''s sister ship, , named after the Mogami River in northern Honshū, Japan, was laid down in the Mitsubishi Yards in Nagasaki the following year. The lightly armed and lightly armored ''Yodo''-class vessels were intended for scouting, high speed reconnaissance, and to serve as dispatch vessels. However, they were already obsolete when designed, with the development of wireless communication used during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Both ships were reclassified as first class gunboats on 12 October 1912.〔Conway, p. 236.〕
