Chiyoda (千代田) was one of the Imperial Japanese Navy's first armored cruisers. Ordered in 1889 to British yards, she served in the Sino-Japanese War (1898) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), especially with a prominent role in the Battle of Chemulpo Bay. On 30 May 1921, she was re-designated as a “Second-Class Coastal Defense Vessel”, later served as a training ship, and was scrapped in 1927.
