Two ships, Zhongyuan and Jingyuan, were sunk by the Japanese in the Yellow Sea naval battle. According to Yu Jianguo, a veteran of Beiyang, these warships were named after their own names and place names. For example, Baoding is called Dingyuan, Zhenjiang is called Zhenyuan, and Jinan is called Jiyuan. Zhiyuan and Jingyuan are said to have been donated by Taiwan Province Province.
"Yidakang" refers to the training ship Ji Kang, which has weak firepower and can't usually be used in naval battles. After beiyang fleet was completely annihilated in Liu Gongdao, Weihai, Ito Sukeyuki, commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet, paid tribute to the Beiyang Navy. After disarming, he was allowed to transport the coffins of Ding and other suicide generals and fallen soldiers and the remaining soldiers to Yantai and Shanghai.
Fleet symbol
In the Qing Dynasty, China had no national flag or military flag in the modern sense. The original naval flag design came from the triangular yellow-bottomed Qinglong flag designed by Horatia Nelson Lay during the Aspen-Horatia Nelson Lay fleet, which was later adopted by Beiyang Navy and changed to a square in the1880s.
After the promulgation of the Constitution of Beiyang Navy, it officially became the earliest flag of China Navy with modern significance, and later the flag of the Qing Empire also followed this pattern.
