"Azuma" was one of the six armored cruisers built under the
programme. Four of them were built by the British Armstrong
shipyard, but "Azuma" was ordered in France, and its sister vessel,
the "Yakumo", in Germany. Both cruisers were to carry British guns,
making them compatible with units built in hazy Albion. The
contract for the construction of "Azuma" was signed on 12th of
October, 1897, with Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire. On 1st of
February, 1898, the keel was laid at the concern's shipyard in St.
Nazaire. The launch took place on 24th of June, 1899. The
construction was completed on 28th of July, 1900. The next day, the
cruiser left St. Nazaire and went to Japan, reaching Yokosuka on
29th of October 29 of that year.
