Japanese cruiser Nisshin
Nisshin (Jp:日進), also transliterated as Nissin, was a Kasuga-class armored cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy designed and built by Ansaldo in Italy, where the type was known as the Garibaldi class. Designed as a cross between a battleship and a cruiser, but with a very small displacement, it had the ability to stand in the battle line and the speed to avoid action with battleships.
