Japanese corvette Kongō (1877)
- Japanese corvette Kongō (1877)
, Kongō visited Istanbul. Both ships were on a good will mission to Ottoman Empire, carrying the surviving crew members of the frigate which sank off the coast of Wakayama.
"Kongō" saw combat service in the first Sino-Japanese war, at the battles of Lushunkou, Weihaiwei and Yalu River.
During the Russo-Japanese War, "Kongō" was based as a guard ship at Chikai, in southern Korea, and was subsequently relocated to Port Arthur after that naval base had fallen to the Japanese.
After the war, "Kongō" was assigned to surveying duties until 20 July 1909 when she was stricken from the lists. It was sold for scrap and broken up in 1910.
