This day, 17 September, in 1894, the Battle of the Yalu River took place between ships of the Chinese Beiyang Fleet and the Imperial Japanese Navy, in what was to be the largest naval engagement of the First Sino-Japanese War. While the Chinese side was defeated, navies across the world have studied the Battle for its tactical lessons ever since. The New York Times would also liken the Battle to Waterloo.
这一天，1894年9月17日，中国北洋舰队和日本帝国海军的船只之间发生了鸭陆河战役，这是第一次中日战争中最大的海军交战。 中方被擊敗，但自那以後，世界各地的海軍一直在研究這場戰役，以吸取其戰術教訓。 《纽约时报》也把这场战役比作滑铁卢。
