Three Meiji-era armored cruisers at work. Iwate (left), Tokiwa (center), and Yakumo (right), from the 2nd Fleet during the late Russo-Japanese War. Of note, the 9,500-ton Yakumo was the only large German-built warship in the Japanese Navy, delivered in 1900 by AG Vulcan Stettin. Both Iwate and Tokiwa were built at Armstrong on the Tyne.
