Crewmen aboard the corvette Yangwu, flagship of the Fujian fleet
The Fujian Fleet (simplified Chinese: 福建水师; traditional Chinese: 福建水師; pinyin: Fújiàn Shuǐshī; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hok-kiàn Chúi-su or simplified Chinese: 福州舰队; traditional Chinese: 福州艦隊; pinyin: Fúzhōu Jiànduì) founded in 1678 as the Fujian Marine Fleet[1] was one of China's four regional fleets during the closing decades of the nineteenth century. The fleet was almost annihilated on 23 August 1884 by Admiral Amédée Courbet's Far East Squadron at the Battle of Fuzhou, the opening engagement of the Sino-French War (August 1884 – April 1885).
