Memorial Ship MIKASA
The warship Mikasa is a historic battleship that was originally built for the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was launched in 1900 and is best known for its role in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, where it played a significant part in the Battle of Tsushima. This battle was a decisive naval engagement that established Japan as a major naval power.
The Mikasa is a pre-dreadnought battleship, meaning it was built before the advent of the more modern dreadnought battleships that revolutionized naval warfare in the early 20th century. Despite being somewhat outdated by the time of World War I, it remained an important symbol of Japanese naval strength.
After its military service, Mikasa was preserved as a museum ship and is now located in Yokosuka, Japan. It serves as a monument to Japanese naval history and is open to the public for tours. Its preservation is a testament to its historical significance and the role it played in shaping naval history.
