		The story of the Battle of the Yalu in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 is interesting and germane to the history of American navies on two counts.
		In a battle which lasted five hours, every moment of which was full of interesting incident, and in which single-ship combats were frequent, no officer could spare time from his duties to note all that was going on.
		Before the battles at the Yalu and Ping Yang the Chinese equaled the Japanese in their eagerness to fight; but as the result of these battles gave increased courage to the one, in like measure it disheartened the other.

	1894YaluBattle
		In the Chinese-Japanese War the battle of the Yalu was the first battle fought between warships of modern make, and, except on paper, neither the men who made them nor the men who fought them knew what the ships could do, or what they might not do.
		But in this battle Americans had a special interest, a human, family interest, for the reason that one of the Chinese squadron, which was matched against some of the same vessels of Japan which lately swept those of Russia from the sea, was commanded by a young graduate of the American Naval Academy.
		On the memorable 17th of September, 1894, the battle of the Yalu was fought, and so badly were the Chinese vessels hammered that the Chinese navy, for the time being, was wiped out of existence.

		These weaker ships were at the end of the battle line and were punished severely by the oncoming Chinese fleet.
		The battleships were side-by-side in the center with the remaining ships alongside (spreading into a sort of arrowhead shape)--unfortunately the weakest ships were placed on the flanks of the formation and were pounded by the Japanese line as it circled around the Chinese fleet.
		It is generally said that the crews of the Chinese ships fought bravely, and were let down by their leadership--one widely reported example being the captain of the protected cruiser Tsi Yuen, who turned his ship around early in the battle and fled for home--ramming another Chinese ship along the way.

		The original plan of Admiral Cervera to engage the American fleet off Santiago de Cuba was to sacrifice his flagship, the armoured cruiser Infanta María Teresa, in trying to disable the American flagship USS Brooklyn.
		The plan was likely influenced by the battle of Lissa in 1866 in which the Italian flagship was sunk by ramming.
		As a result, the Teresa was crippled before she could inflict any damage on the Brooklyn, though the objective of causing confusion in the American line was attained to some extent.

		In 1893 and 1894, the navy ordered six battleships from British yards, the largest of which was Mikasa, a ship similar in design to Britain's own Majestic-class battleships and, for a few months after her building, the largest warship in the world.
		Although the original impetus for Japan's military build-up had been friction with China, Japan defeated China at the Battle of the Yalu in 1894 and went on to occupy Korea and, briefly, Port Arthur in Manchuria.
		Although Mikasa was hit twenty-three times and had to undergo extensive repairs, the Battle of the Yellow Sea was a clear defeat for the Russians.

	The Battleship Kongo
		Previously, naval battles had been fought at close quarters, and many warships in the late 19th century had been built with rams.
		The consensus of opinion seems to be that the "battle cruiser" was misconceived -- neither fish nor fowl: too much of a battleship to be relegated to cruiser tasks, but too little of a battleship to be hazarded in the line-of-battle.
		There were other advantages too, however, and the Battle of Tsushima, 27-28 May 1905, turned out to be one of the more decisive naval battles in history, with most of the Russian fleet, including all the battleships, either sunk or captured.
