ww2dbaseHaichen (sometimes romanized as Hai Shen) was built in Germany for the Chinese Navy at the cost of £163,000. In 1911, she was initially used to bombard revolutionary forces at Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, but would switch sides in Nov. Although she went through modernization in 1930, which added an anti-aircraft gun, by the time of the Second Sino-Japanese War began in 1937 she was obsolete, thus when the need rose to block the Yangtze River from Japanese use, Haichen became one of the older ships scuttled in the middle of the river at Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province, China for this purpose. She was salvaged by Communist China in 1960.
