Shikishima 3
Hatsuse 3
Asahi 2
Mikasa 2
Little differences in rig have been purposely introduced; thus the
Hatsuse is shorter-masted than the Shikishima, and the Asahi and Mikasa
have their funnels differently placed, those of the latter being more
amidships.
Also, instead of casemates, the Mikasa has her 6-in. battery protected
by a continuous armoured wall. Essentially, however, the ships are
sisters.
