Imperial Japanese Navy [SEP] Boshin War
Following the defeat of pro-shogunate resistance on Honshū, Admiral Enomoto Takeaki fled to Hokkaidō, where he established the breakaway Republic of Ezo (27 January 1869). The new Meiji government dispatched a military force to defeat the rebels, culminating with the Naval Battle of Hakodate in May 1869. The Imperial side took delivery (February 1869) of the French-built ironclad "Kotetsu" (originally ordered by the Tokugawa shogunate) and used it decisively towards the end of the conflict.
