 Japanese cruiser Nisshin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Designed as a cross between a battleship and a cruiser, but with a very small displacement, it had the ability to stand in the battle line and the speed to avoid action with battleships.

The performance of the Japanese armored cruisers during the Battle of Tsushima and that of Nisshin in particular was such that it led to a burst of construction of armored cruisers in the world's navies and the battlecruiser designs that were shortly to follow.
