Yixian

Yi Xian-Class Light Cruiser (Chinese: 逸仙) was built for the Republic of China Navy  during the year of 1930. The only ship in her class, she had more in common with the small cruisers of pre–World War I era.

Yi Xian served between the years of 1931 to 1934.

Yi Xian, after the Second Sino-Japanese War broke out, participated in the defense of Kiangyin Fortress, Yangtze River, near Nanking and took over flagship duties after both Ning Hai and Ping Hai were sunk by Japanese aircraft. Yi Xian was sunk as well on 25 September 1937 after shooting down two of the 16 attacking aircraft, losing 14 of its crew.

The Japanese salvaged the ship after the fall of Kiangyin Fortress. After having its stern deck added by one level and receiving radar, sonar, and Japanese weapons, it was renamed Atada (阿多田) and employed as a training ship.
