Product Highlights
Built in the late 1890s the Mikasa was the only member in her own class of Japanese battleships. It served as the flagship of Admiral Heihachiro throughout the Russo-Japanese War though immediately following the conflict her magazine exploded and sank the ship. After a lengthy salvaging she returned to service and offered coastal protection during the Great War eventually being retired in 1922. The Mikasa remains the only surviving pre-dreadnought battleship in the world now displayed as a Museum ship at Mikasa Park in Japan.
