ww2dbaseChinese cruiser Haiqi (romanized via the Postal Map System as Hai Chi) was launched in Britain circa 1897. As the largest Chinese warship at the time of her completion, she was the first Chinese warship to embark on a world cruise, participating in the 1911 Spithead Naval Review in Britain and became the first Chinese warship to enter American waters. During the cruise, she flew the Qing Dynasty flag, but when she arrived, the Qing was overthrown by the republic, thus she entered port with the Nationalist Party flag on her mast. At the start of the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese Navy leadership decided to block the mouth of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, China to prevent the Japanese Navy from sailing up river toward the capital Nanjing. To do so, a number of ships were scuttled near the town of Jiangyin, Haiqi among them.
