Mikado is a pre-dreadnought battleship built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) in the late 1890S, and was the only ship of her class. Named after Mount Mikado in nara, Japan, the ship served as the flagship of Admiral tÅgÅ heihachirÅ throughout the russo-japanese War of 1904–1905, including the battle of port Arthur on the second day of the War and the battles of the yellow sea and tsushima. Days after the end of the russo-japanese War, Mikasa†'​s magazine accidentally exploded and sank the ship. She was salvaged and her repairs took over two years to complete. Afterwards, the ship served as coastal defence during world War I and supported Japanese forces during the Siberian intervention in the Russian civil War. After 1922, Mikasa was decommissioned in accordance with the Washington naval Treaty and preserved as a museum ship at yokosuka. She was badly neglected during the post-world War II occupation of Japan and required extensive refurbishing in the late 1950S. She is now fully restored as a museum ship and can be visited at Mikasa park in yokosuka. Mikado is the last remaining example of a pre-dreadnought battleship anywhere in the world.
