Hai Yung (Шаблон:Zh) was a protected cruiser of the Imperial Chinese Navy. Hai Yung was one of a class of three ships built in Germany for the Chinese after the losses of the First Sino-Japanese War.[1] The ship was a small protected cruiser with quick-firing guns, a departure from the prewar Chinese navy's emphasis on heavy but slow-firing weapons for its cruisers. Hai Yung resembled the British protected cruisers of the Шаблон:Sclass and Italian Шаблон:Sclass, and may have been modeled on the similar Dutch Шаблон:Sclass cruisers.[2] Germany itself would increase the number of similar ships for its own navy starting with the Шаблон:Sclass and its faster successors up until World War I.

In 1906 Hai Yung was sent on a six-month journey to survey the conditions of overseas Chinese communities in South-East Asia.[3] Much of the navy switched loyalties to the rebellion that overthrew the Manchu dynasty in 1911.Шаблон:Citation needed. On 24 April 1916, Hai Yung collided with the Chinese Army transport ship Шаблон:SS in the East China Sea south of the Chusan Islands. Hsin-Yu sank with the loss of about 1,000 lives.[4]

Hai Yung and her sister ships survived the revolution and were obsolete by 1935, when they were discarded.[5] They all were scuttled as blockships in the Yangtze on 11 August 1937 during the Second Sino-Japanese War.[6]
