User:Vanished user 456745753784/History of the Republic of China Navy (1911-1949)

overview goes here

situation in 1911/inherited from qing
After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the nascent Republic of China inherited the naval forces of the empire. However, the Qing themselves were latecomers to the naval race, and its navies were several times mauled by foreign powers, the latest by Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War. As a result, the Republic of China Navy as of 1911/2 (nts:make sure which) displaced a total of only 45,505 tonnes in 50 ships, with nine armoured cruisers (穹甲巡洋艦), six destroyers (驅逐艦), 27 coastal gunboats (海防砲艦) and 8 torpedo boats (魚雷艇), ranking 16th in the world in terms of total tonnage after Sweden and before Denmark.
