Commander Bio:
Deng Shichang (1849-1894) was a Chinese naval commander and hero of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. He belonged to the first generation of officers of the Qing Empire's Navy when it was reorganized according to the European model. Having proved himself as a brilliant student, he took command of his first warship at the age of 25. The young officer visited Great Britain twice during a period of active renewal of the fleet in the 1880s. Qing Dynasty's cruisers were built there, and his mission was to accept the newest ship and take it halfway around the world to China.He was applauded by his superiors for achieving outstanding results in training the ship's crew.
When war with Japan broke out, Deng Shichang was commander of one of the most modern cruisers in China's northern Beiyang Fleet. During the naval battle at the mouth of the Yalu River in September 1894, his extremely aggressive tactics almost sank the Japanese command ship. In the midst of the battle, Deng Shichang's cruiser was surrounded by a Japanese flying squadron. Having spent all of his ammunition, he attempted to ram the enemy, but a charged torpedo tube detonated and prevented him from doing so. Deng Shichang refused to be rescued and went down with his ship, gaining the posthumous glory of a national hero.
