孤拔
"Fu Po" was the fourth vessel launched from the Foochow Arsenal, on 22 December 1870. She remained based out of Foochow until 1884 as part of the Fujian Fleet under Zhang Peilun, where she was present for the Battle of Fuzhou on 23 August, the opening engagement of the Sino-French War. At the battle, the Chinese fleet were split into a northern and southern squadron opposing the French Far East Squadron under Admiral Amédée Courbet; "Fu Po" was part of the northern squadron with the flagship , three other large ships, and several gunboats. Upon the opening of the battle, the French squadron targeted the northern squadron, destroying "Yangwu" in the opening moments. "Fu Po" fled the battle, steaming up river and eventually beaching herself. As a result, she was the only surviving vessel from the northern squadron.
