spared...a must have for any avid ship builder.
About the Mikasa:
The Mikasa was a battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy and was the Flagship
of Admiral Togo. It fought in the very famous historic "Battle of the Japan Sea"
vs. the Russian Battle Fleet during May 27-28, 1905 and was instrumental during
the Russo-Japanese war.
The Mikasa was ordered from the Vickers shipyard in the United Kingdom at the
end of 1898, for delivery to Japan in 1902. She took three years to complete, at
the great cost of £880,000 (8.8 million yen). At the time of her delivery,
Mikasa was a state-of-the-art pre-dreadnought battleship, achieving an
unprecedented combination of firepower and protective strength.
After the peace treaty with Russia was signed on September 5, 1905, Mikasa
suffered a fire while in harbor in south Japan, at Sasebo. A magazine exploded
and she sank in 11 meters of water. She was later salvaged to continue service,
but she soon became obsolete following the development of newer types of
vessels.
Mikasa has been designated as one of the "Three Great Historical Warships of the
World", together with Victory in Portsmouth, UK, and Constitution in Boston,
USA.
Included in this highly detailed kit are a 100th Centennial metal medallion,
statute of Admiral Togo, a large anniversary poster.
