Ding Ruchang
Several were sunk or captured with a total of 13 torpedo boats lost by China in this single engagement; "Fulong" is thought to have been one of two boats which were pursued by the Japanese cruisers and . It managed to beach itself at Chefoo (now Yantai), with the crew abandoning ship. "Fulong" was captured and towed by to the Japanese fleet by one of their torpedo boats during the following day. It remains in doubt whether the Chinese torpedo boats were ordered to flee by Admiral Ding Ruchang, the commanding officer of the ships at Weihaiwei. A memorial following the battle stated that those on the torpedo boats had run away from battle, and if any members of their crews were found, they should be summary decapitated. However, this command must not have been fully carried out, since Captain T'in-kan was promoted several years later to Vice-Admiral.
