Japanese cruiser Hashidate

Japanese cruiser Hashidate

under the command of Admiral Shichiro Kataoka. It was present at the blockade of Port Arthur, the Battle of the Yellow Sea and the final Battle of Tsushima. Later assigned the Japanese 4th Fleet, the "Hashidate" was part of the flotilla that provided protection for the Japanese invasion of Sakhalin.

On 28 August 1912, the "Hashidate" was re-classified as a 2nd class Coastal Defense Vessel. It was struck from the active list on 1 April 1922, and sent to the breakers in 1927.

The cruiser "Hashidate" should not be confused with the Pacific War era river gunboat of the same name.
