[edit] Doubts as for date

It does not seem possible, that she was laid down in January 1898 and launched on 6 July the same year. One Russian book says she was laid down on 6 January 1897 ((А.С. Александров, С.А. Балакин: „Асама” и другие. Японские броненосные крейсера программы 1895-1896г.), series Morskaya Kampania 1/2006 Pibwl ←« 00:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

You are correct - there was a typo on the date, which is now fixed. --MChew (talk) 06:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Interesting, that 1898 appears in very many publications... Pibwl ←« 00:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
