Japanese corvette Kaimon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Japanese corvette Kaimon
was a sail-and-steam corvette of the early Imperial Japanese Navy. Although the name ''Kaimon'' translates to "sea gate", the ship was named for Mount Kaimon, although written with different ''kanji'', located in Kagoshima prefecture. ==Background== ''Kaimon'' was a three-masted bark-rigged sloop-of-war with a coal-fired double expansion reciprocating steam engine with four boilers driving a single screw.〔Chesneau, ''All the World’s Fighting Ships'', p. 232.〕 She was laid down at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal on 1 September 1877, launched on 28 August 1882 and commissioned on 13 March 1884.〔Nishida, ''Ships of the Imperial Japanese Navy''〕 Her construction required over six years, due to numerous technical issues and problems with funding. The design of ''Kaimon'' was almost identical to the corvette , completed a year later at the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal. Both ships were designed by French foreign advisors to the early Meiji government in the employ of the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal.〔 During her launching ceremony, a flock of white doves (the traditional messengers of the war god Hachiman) was released, setting a precedent for all future launchings of Japanese warships. Her first captain was Lieutenant Commander Tsuboi Kōzō.
