| | Japanese cruiser Nisshin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Nisshin (Jp:日進), also transliterated as Nissin, was a Kasuga-class armored cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy designed and built by Ansaldo in Italy, where the type was known as the Garibaldi class. |
 | | At 14:15, Nisshin opened fire on the Oslayaba, the lead ship in the second column of the Russian fleet at a range of 7,000 yards. At 14:40 Nisshin received her first hit as a Russian 12-inch shell cut her right 8-inch gun of the forward turret in half. |
 | | In a strange footnote in history, the Nisshin was later raised, and towed as a target by the battleship Mutsu at the Kamegakubi Naval Proving Ground, Inland Sea, 15 miles SW of Kure. |
