"Jiyuan" then travelled back to Port Arthur, where the foreign engineer refused to serve the captain of the vessel any longer, and left. Captain Fang Peh-Kien was executed for his actions in the battle, with command passed to First Lieutenant Huang Tsu-Lien. Of the surviving Chinese warships from the battle, the "Jiyuan" was the least damaged. As the other surviving ships from the battle arrived in Port Arthur, their guns were dressed in red. "Jiyuan" was the exception, with no decoration and was docked away from the other vessels.
