Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Takasago was a 2nd class protected cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy, designed and built by the Armstrong Whitworth shipyards in Elswick, in the United Kingdom. The name Takasago derives from a location in Hygo Prefecture, near Kobe. The Takasago was an improved design of the Argentine Navy cruiser 25 de Mayo designed by Sir Philip Watts, who was also responsible for the design of the Izumi and the Naniwa-class cruisers. The Yoshino is sometimes regarded as a sister ship to the Takasago, due to the similarity in their design, armament and speed.
