	Japanese battleship Mikasa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mikasa (三笠) is a pre-Dreadnought battleship, formerly of the Imperial Japanese Navy, launched in 1900.
		Thanks to this design, Mikasa was able to withstand a large number of direct hits: she received around 20 hits during the battle of the Yellow Sea on 10 August 1904, and around 30 hits during the battle of Tsushima, with only limited damage.
		The performance of the Japanese fleet was observed and analysed by Western powers, and played an important role in the definition of the next generation of battleships (the Dreadnoughts), since the conflict "confirmed the greater efficiency of heavy guns and the importance of long-range gunfire." ("The Battleship Dreadnought" Conway Marine).

	Battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Battleship was the name given to the most powerfully gun-armed and most heavily armored classes of warships built between the 15th and 20th centuries.
		Battleships evolved from northern European cogs, and included carracks and galleons in the 16th Century, ships of the line in the 17th and 18th centuries, broadside ironclads and Pre-Dreadnoughts in the 19th century, and Dreadnoughts in the 20th Century.
		Battleships still in existence as museums include the American USS Massachusetts, North Carolina, Alabama and Texas, the British HMS Mary Rose and Warrior, the Japanese Mikasa, the Swedish Vasa, the Dutch Buffel and Schorpioen, and the Chilean Huáscar.

	Russo-Japanese War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A series of indecisive naval engagements followed, in which the Admiral Togo was unable to attack the Russian fleet successfully as it was protected by the land guns of the harbor and the Russians declined to leave the harbor for the open seas, especially after the death of Admiral Stepan Osipovich Makarov on 13 April.
		Mikasa, possibly the most powerful battleship of her time, was the Japanese flagship at the Battle of Tsushima in 1905.
		Although the Japanese had consistently defeated Russian forces throughout the war and not just in the first battle, this string of defeats for the Russians might be attributed in no little part to the heavy loss of morale incurred from the first battle.

	Hasegawa 1/350 IJN Mikasa
		Mikasa was built at the shipyards of Vickers Sons & Maxim, Barrow-in-Furness, England.
		She served as Admiral Togo's flagship, and from her bridge he commanded the Japanese Fleet in the victory of the Russian Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.
		Mikasa is priced at $99.95 retail, which feels a bit dear for a ship the length of a large destroyer, but seems on par between the older Tamiya offerings and the newer Trumpeter ones.
