sloops, but was already somewhat obsolescent in comparison to contemporary European warships when completed.
"Musashi" saw service in the First Sino-Japanese War, patrolling between Korea, Dairen and Weihaiwei, from its base at the Korean port of Chemulpo. It was assigned to the Western Fleet.
After the war, "Musashi" was designated a third-class gunboat, and was used for coastal survey and patrol duties.
During the Russo-Japanese War, "Musashi" served as a guard ship in Hakodate harbor. It was reclassified as a second class coastal patrol vessel after the war, but was used primarily for training duties. It was reclassified as a survey ship in 1922, and retired on 1 April 1928. It was broken up for scrap in 1935.
