sloops, but was already somewhat obsolescent in comparison to contemporary European warships when completed.
"Katsuragi" saw combat service in the First Sino-Japanese War, patrolling between Korea, Dairen and Weihaiwei. It was also at the Battle of Yalu River (1894) in a reserve capacity in the Western Fleet.
After the war, "Katsuragi" was designated a third-class gunboat, and was used for coastal survey and patrol duties.
On 6 October 1900, "Katsuragi" ran aground off of Izu Ōshima island. It took over a month to refloat her, after which she underwent extensive repairs at Yokosuka.
During the Russo-Japanese War, "Katsuragi" served as a guard ship in Nagasaki harbor. It was reclassified as a second class coastal patrol vessel after the war, and was retired and scrapped in 1911.
