Ning Hai — Pan-Asian special premium Tier III cruiser.

In 1931, the Japanese Harima shipbuilding company laid down two mini-cruisers—Ning Hai and Pin Hai—for the needs of the Chinese Navy, both based on cruiser Yūbari. Ning Hai was built in Japan and became part of the Chinese fleet in 1932. Both Chinese cruisers were sunk by Japanese aircraft at the start of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937. Between 1938 and 1943, Ning Hai served as floating barracks in the Sasebo Naval Arsenal. In 1944, she was repaired and converted into an escort ship named Ioshima. On September 19, 1944, the former Chinese cruiser took a torpedo hit from USS Shad and sank.

Ning Hai was first released for sale on DD MMM YYYY.

+[[File:Ning_Hai_in_1932.jpg|none|frame|x285px|link=|ROCN light cruiser Ning Hai underway in July 1932.]]
+In the 1920s, the Republic of China Navy (ROCN) consisted of a couple 19th century protected cruisers and two training cruisers received before World War I, and was both antiquated and underequipped. Ambitious re-armament plans were made but initially lacked funds, and after negotiations with shipbuilders in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan, an order was placed for one light cruiser to be built in Japan with a sister ship built in China with Japanese assistance.
+''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was based on the experimental Japanese cruiser ''Yūbari'', with ''Yūbari’s'' large 140mm guns but an even smaller displacement. In addition to her guns and torpedoes, she had a small hangar space for two seaplanes (Japanese Aichi AB-3 biplanes), one of which would be brought from Japan. There were no plans for aircraft catapults on the ship; instead, the planes would be deployed and retrieved with a crane. As a result of her outdated engines, she was underpowered and only capable of a 22 knot top speed. Like many other Japanese-designed ships of the era, she was top-heavy and would be unstable in open water. As a result, she was relegated to coastal operations against mostly smaller vessels.
+''{{#var:ship_name}}'' was laid down at the Harima Shipyards in Japan on 20 February 1931, and commissioned on 1 September 1932 as the ROCN flagship (serving until her sister ship ''Ping Hai'' replaced her in 1937). She returned to Japan several times during her service with the ROCN for repairs and for the funeral of Japanese Fleet Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō in June 1934.
+During the Second Sino-Japanese War, she was a priority target of the Imperial Japanese Navy as one of the more powerful ships in the ROCN fleet. During the attack on Kiangyin Fortress on 23 September 1937, she was hit by four Japanese bombs (her sister ship ''Ping Hai'' was hit with eight and sank). She managed to escape, but was hit by torpedo bombers from ''Kaga'' two days later and sank.
+The Japanese captured the sunken ship in December, and attempted unsuccessfully to refloat her in April 1938. A second attempt in May was successful, and she was towed to Shanghai for repairs. Originally planned to be a flagship for the Japanese puppet state in the Republic of China, she was later re-classified as a training vessel and coastal defense ship (named ''Mikura'') but ended up service as a floating barracks until December 1943.
+''Mikura'' then returned to Harima Shipyards, where she was converted into an escort ship to protect Japanese maritime traffic against Allied submarines. She was recommissioned as ''Ioshima'' in June 1944, and escorted a convoy of transports to Iwo Jima in late July where she managed to avoid a torpedo attack from an unknown submarine. On 10 September she left for a second escort mission, but was hit by three torpedoes fired from USS ''Shad'' (SS-235) and sank on 19 September. She was stricken on 10 November.
