This program was intended to form the backbone of the Imperial Japanese Navy . Construction of the " Asama " - class ships began as a private venture by the British shipbuilder Armstrong Whitworth of Elswick for projected export business . It was fortuitous for the company that the Japanese navy had a specification which required only slight modifications to the initial design . At the time of their completion , the " Asama " - class cruisers were considered the fastest , most heavily armed and most armored cruisers in the world . However , extremely fast development of technology , weaponry and armor in this field of ship design meant that the supremacy of this design was short . Design . The hull of the " Asama " class cruiser was a typical flush deck with high freeboard to improve seaworthiness . The design still came with a ram attached to the bow . The 45 - caliber 203 mm main guns were mounted in twin gun turret s fore and aft . Each could fire a shell at the rate of two per minute over a range of .

Propulsion was by two vertical triple expansion steam engines , two shafts , with 12 boilers , yielding a speed of 21 . 5 knots and a range of at based on a 1 , 409 ton load of coal . < br style = " clear : left ; " > Ships in class .

USRC General Green USRC " General Green " was one of the first ten cutters operated by the US Revenue Cutter Service . She was named for the Revolutionary War hero Major General Nathanael Greene and note that her name was misspelled , probably by the man who oversaw her construction , the Collector of Customs in Philadelphia , Sharp Delany . Apparently the cutter was to have been originally named for the Secretary of the Treasury , Alexander Hamilton , but Delany changed the name for reasons unknown . Operational history . There is little or no information on her original design and unfortunately her monthly journals have not survived but some correspondence regarding her has , particularly the exchange of letters between her master , James Montgomery , and Delany . Indeed , there is a letter dated 23 July 1791 from the collector at Boston , Benjamin Lincoln , to Hamilton that states the General Green left Adam Foulk ' s wharf in Philadelphia , completely outfitted , on 7 July of that year , making her one of the first of the cutters to actually enter into service . Isaac Roach was appointed as the first mate and Benjamin Rue was appointed as the second mate in March , 1791 . Montgomery was the commanding officer of the Collector ' s barge in Philadelphia and so had some experience in revenue work prior to his commission as the master of the new cutter . He had also seen service during the Revolution as an officer in the Pennsylvania State Navy and later saw action as the commanding officer of a privateer . The cutter had an active career patrolling the waters off Philadelphia and carrying out the federal laws of the land as instituted during President George Washington ' s administration . When Great Britain and France went to war in 1793 , Washington declared the neutrality of the United States and the cutters acted as the government ' s law enforcement arm at sea . Her most exciting mission was undoubtedly when she was ordered to seize the French privateer " Les Jumeaux " , which was outfitting in Philadelphia , in direct violation of the neutrality laws . The privateer got underway in December 1794 and the " General Green " overtook her 40 miles off Wilmington , Delaware . The Deputy Collector , Robinett , sailed on board the cutter and was in overall command of this seizure . " General Green " was sold in 1798 to William Moodie of Philadelphia . Commanding officers . James Montgomery , Master ; 1791 - 1797
