Yongfeng-class gunboat (original) (raw)

The Yongfeng class were early-20th century gunboats built for the Chinese navy. They were enlarged sea-going versions of the Kiang- and Chu-class gunboats. The first ships, Yongfeng and Yongxiang, were built in Japan by Kawasaki; they were launched in 1912-1913. The remainder, Yongjian and Yongji, were built in 1915 by the Jiangnan Shipyard in China; these ships had added poop decks.
