Chinese cruiser Chih Yuenとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Chih Yuen 致遠 was a protected cruiser in service with the Chinese Beiyang Fleet. Chih Yuen was the sister ship to Ching Yuen, both of which were designed and constructed in Elswick, in the United Kingdom by Armstrong Whitworth. This type of cruisers, produced exclusively for export, were loosely known as the "Elswick Cruisers". Buyers included Chile, China and Japan. They were fast and well-armed, but considered to be vulnerable by the Admiralty (as a result, no Elswick cruisers were built for the Royal Navy).
