IJN-Mikasa

109k WalrusAircraft  8.9 years ago

The Imperial Japanese Navy pre-dreadnaught battleship Mikasa served as a flagship during the WW I. It also had combat experience during the First Shino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The Mikasa was a modified version of the Formidable class battleships of the Royal Navy. Powered by 25 Belleville boilers, the ship could reach 18 knots. The main guns were two 12 inch (305 mm) 40-calibre. During the battle of the Yellow Sea in the Russo-Japanese war in 1904 she was hit twenty times and lost 125 of her crew. The ship was scheduled for destruction in 1922. The Japanese requested that the ship become a memorial ship instead. You can visit the ship today in Yokosuka.

To operate the ship:
Throttle and ailerons to steer. Use detacher 1 to turn the primary guns, and pitch up to raise the guns.
Detacher 2 operates secondary weapons on starboard with VTOL slider.
Detacher 3 operates smaller guns with VTOL slider.
For port side guns, use detacher 4 and, again with VTOL slider.
We put a lot of work into this replica and hope you enjoy the effort! Rate and comment if you like.

    Im not shure why, but id like you to know that this was one of the first if not the first thing I downloaded from simpleplanes.com, and i have genuine nostalgia for it. I remember driving it around the bridge near “water takeoff”.
    Im not really sure if this comment has a point.

    Kindest regards- fluffysheep

    She survived WWII as well, and the US occupation after the war. She has a will to live, that’s for sure!

    @WalrusAircraft would it be possible for you to make a replica of the USS Mackinaw, which was a Union ship in the Civil War?
