"Together with the Yangwei, the Chaoyong was built by British shipbuilder Armstrong Whitworth at a cost of 65 million taels of silver, though Armstrong later subcontracted part of the framework to Mitchell"

The cost the two Chao Yong (超勇) class of cruisers can't possibly be 65 millions taels of silver. It's way too expensive. The turret battelships Ding Yuan (定远) and Zhen Yuan (镇远) ordered from Germany costs 1.7 million taels of silver each. So a comparison of the two indicates that it is not quite possible even if the British wanted to charge an exorbitant price.

I had read an article in the Chinese version of the Wiki stating that the total cost of building the two cruisers were 650,000 (65万) taels of silver, which is a more reasonable figure. I suspect the discrepancy is due to the translation of the chinese character wan (万), which means 10,000, was mistaken for million (which is bai wan 百万 in chinese).

With this edit [1], a large chunk of text was moved into this article from Chinese cruiser Yangwei. This makes perfect sense, seeing as the two ships were effectively inseperable during their service, and only had a relatively minor difference in performance. However, I'm yet to perform additional searches on information relating to Chaoyong, so the article may yet be expanded further. Miyagawa (talk) 10:35, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
