Chinese torpedo boat Fulong

Fast attack craft

ManufacturerSchichau-Werke
Fulong (simplified Chinese: 福龙; traditional Chinese: 福龍; pinyin: Fulong; Wade–Giles: Fu Lung) was a torpedo boat built for the Imperial Chinese Navy, assigned to the Beiyang Fleet. She was built by Schichau in Elbing, Germany. Initially ordered by the Fujian Fleet, the ship was launched in 1886 and was China's largest torpedo boat at that point. The vessel saw service during the First Sino-Japanese War in the Battle of the Yalu River, and later at the Battle of Weihaiwei, where she was captured by the Japanese. The torpedo boat was taken into service by the Imperial Japanese Navy as Fukuryū (Japanese reading of 福龍) and remained active until sold for scrap in 1908.
