I would be interested to get these screenshots in big, for my archives. It has been a very long time since I saw the PON crisis manager in action.

We rule the waves!
The news, both joyful and disturbing, came from our correspondents in Singapore, who learned that several wounded Italian sailors had been delivered to the local British hospital by a merchant packet boat. Having visited the heroes, the journalists heard about the general battle between the squadron of Duke Eugene and the main forces of the Chinese fleet and immediately transmitted an essay compiled from the participants in the clash through the wires of the East India Telegraph Station.
Eugene of Savoy, Prince of Carignano, named after his famous grandfather, of course, held the flag of the squadron on the newest three-deck 80-gun battleship “Prince of Carignano”. Sisterships: "Re Galantuomo", "Terrible" and "Formidable" formed the main battle order of the expeditionary fleet. 8 smaller steamers were used for reconnaissance and signaling. Piedmontese sailors cruised between the mouth of the Pearl River and the Taiwan Strait, interfering with coastal communications in South China.
Admiral Peng Yulin could not take it so easy and lead his fleet to sea, obviously counting on the overwhelming quantity superiority of the Chinese and the fogs of Formosa, capable to provide a surprise attack. The Celestial Empire had almost a hundred combat pennants and was able to prepare impressive forces for battle: 4 corvettes and 72 junks. However, the hope for a lack of vigilance of the watchmen turned out to be in vain! The approaching armada was seen from afar and the 68-pounder guns of the Sardinian flagship immediately brought confusion to the attackers. "Prince of Carignano" and the "Formidable" following him with well-aimed fire sank a dozen and a half combat junks, one more each - on the account of "Re Galantuomo" and "Terrible". The enemy run.
And then the indefatigable temperament of Duke Eugene, which we remember from the controversial battle in the Ionian Sea during the Eastern War, played a cruel joke on the sailors who had already defeated the enemy. The signal raised on the masts of the flagship was simple and did not allow for double interpretations: "Board everyone!" The ships, spreading full steam, began to pursue the enemy. However, a boarding fighting is always, to a certain extent, a lottery, in which the most thorough preparation and the most desperate courage are unable to guarantee success. And, although the Chinese fleet suffered significant losses during the retreat, two episodes overshadowed the joy of victory.
The steam corvette Ruggiero shot out of the clouds of smoke and fog directly into the concentrated fire of a dozen Chinese ships, including three corvettes, equipped with equivalent artillery and with hired European officers on board. One of the very first volleys damaged the engine and, although the captain quickly organized maneuvering under sails, sank the nearest war junk, forced the enemy corvette to go out of the battle and hold untill the powerful Re Galantuomo has come to help, the team, which suffered heavy losses, could not to stop flooding and, after a two-hour damage control, was forced to abandone the ship.
The steam frigate "Carlos Alberto" caught up the largest victim of this hunt: one of the few Chinese corvettes. The enemy captain was fanatically devoted to his emperor and, as soon as the boarding party jumped on board, he went down into the hold-chamber and blew up the ship. The blast wave broke through the skin of the Carlos Alberto, burning debris covered its deck and, in the end, the hunter shared the fate of the prey.
Despite these unfortunate losses, the battle in the Taiwan Strait is undoubtedly a bright and convincing victory for the Sardinian fleet. It is authentically known about the sinking of 33 war junks and a corvette, perhaps some more Chinese ships sank after the battle from the damage received. Thus, about a third of the enemy fleet was sent to the bottom, and naval domination in Chinese waters belongs entirely to the coalition.
Japan lands in Korea, with an inconclusive battle at Pusan. Sardinian troops land on Taiwan and lay siege to Tainan. Monsoons set in on the Burmese front.
Tainan, on Taiwan, falls to the Italians. A Japanese fleet is defeated in the Tsushima Strait, but not before unloading more troops onto the peninsula. Chinese troops win two indecisive battles against Japan, and take a British outpost in Kashmir.
"Corriere della Sera", August 2, 1859
The corps of the “young Italian guard” captured the Tainan fortress. Ten thousand Chinese soldiers became prisoners in Sardinia. 12 unfinished war junks were captured at the shipyards. They, of course, do not meet the requirements of our ultra-modern naval forces, but they are quite capable of serving under the flag of the Sardinian colonial fleet. Fortifications, coastal batteries and administrative buildings of the Celestial Empire were destroyed. The expeditionary forces began constructing warehouses to ensure uninterrupted supply of coalition forces in the Far East.
Despite the stormy weather, heavy fighting continues in the Tsushima Strait between the Japanese and Chinese fleets. The Japanese squadron retreated, but not before the landing was completed. The Chinese naval forces, moreover, suffered much more serious losses in the ship composition: according to available data, they sank 27 junks, while the Japanese lost 8 junks and 1 corvette.
