*1 "Masuji Yamanouch" (Imperial Japanese Navy officer (1860-1919)) who improved existing (maybe "Hotchikiss") quick firing gun.

According to the log of Mikasa, on 29th(and 30th), Dec. 1904, eight 47mm Yamanouchi heavy quick firing guns on the fighting tops were removed and relocated to the shelter decks or the boat decks.  Previous to this relocation, four 47mm Yamanouchi light guns on the boat decks were relocated to the bridge decks.

(a), (b) Fighting tops were removed after the battle of Yellow Sea (1904).

(c), (d) Officer's conning(?) towers were fitted with on four casemates on upper deck January, 1905.

Mikasa's armament was : 4 x 12 inch guns,  14 x 6 inch guns,  20 x 12 pdr (3 inch) guns,  8 x  3pdr (47 mm) guns,  4 x 2.5pdr (47 mm) guns and 4 x 18 inch submerged torpedo tubes.

Note: One Japanese claims that two 2.5pdr (47 mm) guns relocated in front of  wheel house on aft bridge deck at first, and then, they were relocated to the wings up to Tsushima. 
Probably it comes from the report which Mikasa's captain had submitted after the battle of Yellow Sea. But the report was merely his wish, and there is no reliable evidence to decide the matter.
