HMS Aurora.
Later ROC Navy Chung King.
Captured by the communists in 1949.
The Japanese had few chances to commit the new PLA Navy as IJN's main battlefields were in the Pacific during the ww2.

Great shot. I like the Arethusa-class cruisers. My favourite is HMS Penelope.

Gift to Hitler - Japanese kimono.
This was presented by Tokyo City in 1936 when Berlin Olympic was held.
Tokyo Olympic was to be held in 1940 but cancelled because of ww2.

Sorry for a trivia again.
Mongol Invasion of Japan (1281).
Most of them were Koreans as Mongol China had few warships.

Weren't the Mongols defeated by a huge Typhoon or Tornado and had nearly all their vessels sunk or destroyed? If my history is correct this was where the term "kamikaze" comes from? Meaning "Divine wind"..... But plz correct me if im wrong
