Some years ago along with a friend I toured the Japanese Battleship Mikasa the last Pre-Dreadnought Battleship in existence. My friend, JB, had fairly good knowledge of this ship and talked about the ship's history and design features.
Mikasa is named after Mt. Mikasa (more commonly known as Mt. Wakakusa) in Nara and was built in the UK in 1900 which also makes it the last British-made battleship still existing. Mikasa saw service from 1902-1923 - most importantly the Mikasa served as the flagship for Vice Admiral Heihachiro Togo in the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). Togo defeated the Russian Baltic Fleet at the Battle of Tsushima in May 1905 which effectively brought the war to a close.
Mikasa was in danger of being scrapped like many ships after the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 but efforts were made to preserve the ship and it became a museum ship in 1926.
It was very windy that day so the audio is bad in places - sorry!
