Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
TOGO, HEIHACHIRO, COUNT (1847 ) , Japanese
admiral
 , was born in Kagoshima. He studied naval science and navigation in England from 1871 to 1878, and first became a prominent figure when, in 1894, as captain of the cruiser " Naniwa," he sunk the
Chinese
  troopship " Kowshing " en route for
Korea
 , thus precipitating war with
China
 . When the Russo-Japanese conflict broke out in 1904, he was appointed to the commandin-
chief
  of the Japanese
fleet
 , and under his direction various brilliant operations took place, culminating in the
battle
  of the Sea of Japan when the
Russian
 
fleet
  was annihilated. For these services he received (1907) the
title
  of
count
 . In 1906 he was made a member of the British Order of Merit.
