Japanese Mikasa battleship is a pre-dreadnought battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy, launched in 1900 and built in the United Kingdom by Vickers. She served as the flagship of Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō during the Russo-Japanese War and played a central role in Japanese's emergence as a major naval power. Japanese Mikasa is best known for her role in the Battle of Tsushima in 1905, where the Japanese fleet decisively defeated the Russiann Baltic Fleet. This victory marked the first time an Asian power defeated a European naval force in modern warfare and had a lasting impact on global naval strategy. After decades of service, Japanese Mikasa was preserved as a memorial ship. She is the only surviving pre-dreadnought battleship in the world and has been restored as a museum in Yokosuka, Japanese. Today, Japanese Mikasa stands as a symbol of Japanese's naval heritage and early 20th-century maritime history.
