Japanese cruiser Kasuga : ウィキペディア英語版
Japanese cruiser Kasuga

was the name ship of the armored cruisers of the Imperial Japanese Navy, built in the first decade of the 20th century by Gio. Ansaldo & C., Sestri Ponente, Italy, where the type was known as the . The ship was originally ordered by the Argentine Navy during the Argentine–Chilean naval arms race, but the lessening of tensions with Chile and financial pressures caused the Argentinians to sell her before delivery. At this time tensions between the Empire of Japan and the Russian Empire were rising, and the ship was offered to both sides before she was purchased by the Japanese.
During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05, ''Kasuga'' participated in the Battle of the Yellow Sea and was lightly damaged during the subsequent Battle of Tsushima. In addition she frequently bombarded the defenses of Port Arthur. The ship played a limited role in World War I and was used to escort Allied convoys and search for German commerce raiders in the Indian Ocean and Australasia. ''Kasuga'' became a training ship in the late 1920s and was then disarmed and hulked in 1942 for use as a barracks ship. The ship was sunk shortly before the end of World War II in 1945 and was salvaged three years later and broken up for scrap.
== Background ==

''Kasuga'' was the next-to-last of the 10 ''Giuseppe Garibaldi''-class armored cruisers to be built. The first ship had been completed in 1895 and the class had enjoyed considerable export success, and had been gradually improved over the years.〔Chesneau & Kolesnik, p. 351; Milanovich, p. 92; Silverstone, p. 314〕 The last two ships of the class were ordered on 23 December 1901 by the Argentine Navy in response to the order by Chile for two second-class battleships. The possibility of war between Argentina and Chile, however, abated before the vessel was completed, and a combination of financial problems and British pressure forced Argentina to dispose of ''Bernardino Rivadavia'' and her sister ship ''Mariano Moreno''. The Argentine government attempted to sell the ships to Russia, but negotiations failed over the price demanded by the Argentinians. The Japanese government quickly stepped in and purchased them due to increasing tensions with Russia despite the high price of ¥14,937,390 (£1,530,000) for the two sisters. Already planning to attack Russia, the government delayed their surprise attack on Port Arthur that began the Russo-Japanese War until the ships had left Singapore and could not be delayed or interned by any foreign power.〔Milanovich, pp. 83–84〕
