History

Mikasa served as the flagship of the Combined Fleet under Admiral Togo Heihachiro during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904 to 1905. Armed with four 30.5cm main guns and a powerful secondary battery, she played a decisive role at the Battle of Tsushima, also known as the Battle of the Japan Sea.

The battle marked a turning point in naval history, demonstrating Japan’s emergence as a major naval power. Mikasa’s success during the conflict cemented her place as one of the most famous pre-dreadnought battleships of the early 20th century.
