Yongfeng-class coastal defense ship is a class of four Chinese coastal defense ships built by Japan and China respectively, each building a pair. Due to their small size, these ships are also frequently referred as gunboats. Ordered by the government of the Qing dynasty in 1910 under the deal signed between the Qing navy minister Zaixun, his deputy admiral Sa Zhenbing and the Japanese, the first two ships Yongfeng (永丰) and Yongxiang (永翔) were built by Japan, and the second pair Yongjian (永健) and Yongji (永绩) were built by Jiangnan Shipyard in China with technical help from Japan. All four ships differed slightly from one another. ==Yongfeng== (詳細はZhongshan subsequently changed to. Originally stationed in Yuezhou (in modern Hunan) after commissioned, the ship was one of the ten ships led by Admiral Cheng Biguang and sailed to Guangzhou on July 22, 1917 to Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s side in the Constitutional Protection Movement. The ship was ordered to be renamed as Zhongshan after Dr. Sun Yat-sen’s death on March 30, 1925, with formal renaming ceremony held on April 13 of the same year. Merely a year later, the ship became the center of Zhongshan Warship Incident. After being sunk by the Japanese aerial attack on October 24, 1938 during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the ship was finally salvaged nearly six decades later in 1997, and restoration of the ship formally begun on November 12, 1999.
