TRIDENT. FRIEDLAND._Navies of the world

[Illustration: TRIDENT.]

Armored belt and casemate. Ram bow and dome stern. The belt encircles

the water-line to the height of the main-deck beams. The casemate

rises to the height of the spar-deck beams. At the forward end of

the casemate, on each side, a barbette unarmored half-turret is

built, being simply a projecting shelf for mounting a heavy gun.

The sides from the main-deck up forward are given a sharp tumble

home to permit clear forward fire; while aft the spar-deck rail is

placed inboard about three feet, leaving a clear fire aft, giving

the part of the spar-deck outside the rail the appearance of a

continuous channel-piece. The turret guns are only protected by a light

musket-proof shelter, rising above the slide. There is a light battery

of broadside rifles on the spar-deck, a bow-gun working in one port

under the forecastle, and a similar stern-gun. There is no forward or

after fire from the main-deck battery.

COLBERT.

Of the same type as the Friedland, except that in place of the barbette

half-turrets there are armored breastworks for the protection of a

heavy bow and a heavy stern-gun on the spar-deck.

[Illustration: COLBERT.]

RICHELIEU. MARENGO. OCEAN. SUFFREN.

[Illustration: SUFFREN.]

Armored belt and casemate, with four armored barbette turrets. Ram

bow, straight stern. The belt encircles the water-line, coming to but

not covering the ram, which is a solid bronze casting. The barbette

turrets are just over the corners of the casemate, projecting nearly

half their diameter clear of the side for fore-and-aft fire. The side

is not broken in or given a tumble home, as the muzzles of the turret

guns are above the spar-deck rail. The Richelieu has twin screws, the

others single ones. There is no fore-and-aft fire from the casemate.

Light spar-deck broadside battery. Armored commander’s lookout.

BAYARD. TURENNE. LA GALLISSONNIERE. TRIOMPHANTE. VICTORIEUSE. VAUBAN.

Second-rate sea-going iron-clads. Armored belt and casemate and two

barbette turrets. The belt encircles the water-line to the height of

the main-deck beams, the casemate carrying the armor to the spar-deck.

The barbette turrets are over the forward corners of the casemate. Ram

bow and dome stern. Light spar-deck broadside battery. Bow-gun working

in a single port under the forecastle.

[Illustration: VICTORIEUSE.]

GLOIRE. COURONNE. FLANDRE. PROVENCE. HEROINE GAULOISE. GUYENNE.

MAGNANIME. SAVOIE. REVANCHE. SURVEILLANTE. VALEUREUSE.

[Illustration: LA GLOIRE.]

Broadside iron-clad frigates, completely armored. These vessels belong

to the earliest type, and, with the exception of the Couronne and

Heroine, they have wooden hulls. The armor extends from about three

feet below the water-line to the spar-deck beams. Armored conning

towers are placed abaft the main-mast. Originally built for a large

battery of light smooth-bores, the height of the main-deck presents the

full outfit of a heavy battery.

BELLIQUEUSE. ALMA. JEANNE D’ARC. THETIS. ARMIDE. ATALANTE. MONTCALM.

REINE BLANCHE.

Second-class cruising iron-clads. Armor belt and casemate, and four

barbette turrets. The belt comes to the main-deck beams all around,

the casemate carrying it up to the spar-deck. The turrets are at the

corners of the casemates. In some of these vessels the after turrets

were left off, it being found that the hull was overweighted when it

was attempted to put heavier guns aboard than the ships were originally

intended to carry.

[Illustration: JEANNE D’ARC.]

TONNERRE. FULMINANT. FURIEUX. TEMPETE. TONNANT. VENGEUR.

[Illustration: TONNERRE.]

Single-turreted, casemated monitors for coast defence. These vessels

are heavily armored at the water-line; the single turret is very

large, in order to bring the two guns in it well apart, to gain clear

fire aft on each side of the superstructure. This turret is on the

forward third of the hull, and it, as well as the superstructure aft,

is surrounded by a breastwork that does not come out to the side.

On top of the turret is a barbette commander’s lookout. Forward the

deck rises into a short forecastle, just abaft of which is an armored

casemate giving ingress into the crew’s quarters. The superstructure

abaft the turret is musket-proof, of a width just sufficient to permit

the guns to get stern-fire. The upper part expands into a flying

deck, with a low musket-proof shield, and corner stands for Hotchkiss

machine-guns.

TIGRE. BELIER. CERBERE. BOULEDOGUE.

Monitor rams. These vessels have a low freeboard, the single turret

being on the forward third of the hull, surrounded by a casemate, which

also covers the lower part of the smoke-stack. A superstructure rises

forward and aft of the turret and is semi-cylindrical, curving at the

ends in such a manner as to give no foothold on any part. The turret

is surmounted by a barbette lookout. The hulls are of wood and heavily

strengthened at the ram. Double screws.

TAUREAU.

Similar to the above, with the exception that the turret is fixed and

has four ports for bow and beam fire.

[Illustration: TAUREAU.]

ONONDAGA.

Double-turreted American monitor; laminated plating, low freeboard, no

casemate.

ROCHAMBEAU.

Casemated iron-clad (late Dunderberg). Ram bow, low freeboard, and

rectangular casemate, with sloping sides giving fore-and-aft and beam

fire.

[Illustration: ROCHAMBEAU.]

EMBUSCADE. PROTECTRICE. IMPRENABLE. REFUGE. IMPLACABLE. OPINIATRE.

Armored floating batteries. Low freeboard forward and abaft, with

rectangular casemates having perpendicular sides, and giving

fore-and-aft and beam fire. Light draft.

[Illustration: EMBUSCADE.]

CAIMAN. INDOMPTABLE. TERRIBLE.

Coast-defence vessels; type not known, but presumably citadel ships of

a displacement not less than 12,000 tons. The battery of this type is

six 13¼-inch guns. They are evidently intended as more powerful vessels

than either the Inflexible or Duilio.

DUQUESNE. TOURVILLE.

Iron frigates, sheathed with wood and coppered. Strengthened bows

for ramming, with heavy bronze rams. Three half-turrets or platforms

on each side of the spar-deck, projecting clear of the side to give

clear fore-and-aft fire. Bow-gun working in a single port under

the forecastle. Pilot-house and chart-room on a bridge forward of

the smoke-stacks. Boats carried on a gallows-frame between the

smoke-stacks. Fine lines, heavy shoulder; the bow-frames are given a

flare out from the main-deck up, to give a full forecastle for working

the bow-gun. Single screw, full sail-power. Gun-deck, broadside

battery, fourteen 5½-inch rifles. Spar-deck battery, seven 7½-inch

rifles. Bow-fire, three 7½-inch; beam-fire, nine 5½-inch (two guns can

be shifted on the gun-deck, so as to give nine for a broadside), three

7½-inch; stern-fire, two 7½-inch. Two sets of engines and boilers,

placed one abaft the other for protection. Between the forward turrets

on the spar-deck are the wash-rooms and water-closets, giving the

appearance of a fourth half-turret. Maximum speed at sea for 24 hours,

16½ knots.

[Illustration: TOURVILLE.]

DUGUAY TROUIN.

Iron corvette, sheathed with wood and coppered. Strengthened bow for

ramming, with heavy bronze ram. Four half-turrets, similar to those

of the Tourville. Bow-gun working under the forecastle in a single

port. Single screw, full sail-power. All the battery carried on

the spar-deck, leaving a clear, roomy main-deck. Stern-gun mounted

in barbette on a centre-pivot carriage. Bow-fire, two 7¼-inch, one

5½-inch; beam-fire, two 7¼-inch, three 5½-inch; stern fire, two

7¼-inch, one 5½-inch.

[Illustration: DUGUAY TROUIN.]

VILLARS CLASS (seventeen in number).

Second-class wooden corvettes, with strengthened ram bow. Two light

bow-guns firing through recessed ports, giving bow and beam fire. (In

some cases the guns are on the forecastle, in others underneath.)

Stern-gun mounted on a centre-pivot carriage in barbette. Midship guns

of heavy calibre, the deck being carried out slightly, to give them an

extreme firing angle.

[Illustration: VILLARS.]

ECLAIREUR CLASS (two in number).

Third-class composite corvettes, with strengthened ram bow. Bow

pivot-gun mounted on the forecastle: stern-pivot in barbette; six guns

in broadside.

[Illustration: ECLAIREUR.]

LANCIER CLASS (eight in number).

Avisos, or fourth-class corvettes, composite, with strengthened ram

bows. Four rifled-guns mounted on centre-pivot carriages in the midship

line of the vessel. Drop-rail abreast the main-deck guns.

[Illustration: LANCIER.]

LYNX CLASS (seven in number).

First-class composite gun-boats, with strengthened ram bows. Light,

centre-pivoting rifled bow and stern-guns, and one heavy rifled,

centre-pivot gun amidships firing in barbette.

[Illustration: LYNX.]

FARCY CLASS (twenty-seven in number).

Second-class iron gun-boats. These vessels are more nearly large

launches, built with ram bows to give them good displacement. One heavy

gun is mounted in the bow, the slope of the bow from the ram up being

carried up to form a musket-proof shield, permitting the gun to fire

through an embrasure.[2]

[Illustration: TROMBLON]

[2] By increasing the displacement of this type thirty tons, an

increase of speed of two knots has been obtained, a 4-inch stern-gun

mounted, and the boats made perfectly seaworthy.

MYTHO CLASS (four in number).

First-class iron troop-ships, similar in general to the English

troopers of the Serapis class. Capacity for berthing 1700 men with all

the camp equipage.

[Illustration: MYTHO.]

DRAC CLASS (four in number).

Light cavalry transports. These vessels are composite built and may

serve either as transports or gun-boats, as they carry a battery of

two light and two heavy centre-pivoting rifles. They are used for the

transportation of cavalry horses, artillery, and stores.

[Illustration: DRAC.]

BIEVRE CLASS (four in number).

Light, fast iron transports, similar in general to the Drac class.

KAISER. DEUTSCHLAND.

Armored belt, redoubt, and stern casemate. Ram bow and straight stern.

The belt encircles the water-line, coming up to the height of the

main-deck beams abaft the redoubt, but forward of it reduced in height

to not over three feet above the water-line, and having a heavy steel

deck at the height of its upper edge. The belt does not cover the

ram. The sides forward and abaft the redoubt are given a rank tumble

home, while the redoubt is carried straight up to the spar-deck beams,

opening fore-and-aft and beam fire from the angular ports, (vide

Devastation, French). The stern casemate prevents raking from aft, and

also protects a stern-gun working in a single port. The engines and

boilers form two distinct sets, one abaft the other, the magazines and

shell-lockers coming between them. The redoubt has an overhang clear of

the side of 3½ feet forward and 1½ feet aft. There is no bow-gun, the

bow-fire coming from the redoubt. The after-redoubt guns only fire to

within 15° of right astern, the stern-gun filling out the dead-angle.

Single screw, full sail-power.

[Illustration: KAISER.]

FRIEDRICH DER GROSSE. PREUSSEN.

Armored belt, breastwork, and two revolving turrets. These ships are

built on the lines of the Monarch, although improved in detail. The

belt encircles the water-line, but does not come as low down as the

point of the ram. The breastwork surrounds the boilers and the bottoms

of the turrets, but the engines are outside of and abaft it. The

turrets are closer together than in the Monarch, and have no upper

works to interfere with their fire. The dead-angles of the turret-guns

are filled by a bow and stern-gun working in single unprotected ports.

These ships have single screws and about three-quarter sail-power.

[Illustration: PREUSSEN.]

KÖNIG WILHELM.

[Illustration: KÖNIG WILHELM.]

Armored belt and long, main-deck casemate, stern casemate, and two

spar-deck redoubts. Ram bow and straight stern. The belt encircles

the water-line, coming to the height of the main-deck beams aft, but

somewhat lower forward of the casemate, that portion being covered by

a steel deck. There is no forward or after fire from the casemate, the

sides rising straight up fore and aft. The ends of the casemate are

protected from raking by armored bulkheads, rising to the spar-deck

beams forward and abaft. The stern casemate protects a single gun

working in one port. At the forward end of the main casemate, and

rising clear of the upper deck, is a redoubt—or rather traverse, for it

is unprotected at the rear—giving protection to two guns working each

in two ports for fore-and-aft and beam fire. At the after-end of the

main casemate is a similar traverse, which has an overhang of several

feet, its two guns working also each in two ports for stern and beam

fire (vide Sultan, English). These traverses encumber the spar-deck for

working the gear of the sails. Single screw and full sail-power.

FRIEDRICH KARL. KRON PRINZ.

Armored belt and long casemate with bow redoubt. Ram bow and straight

stern. The belt encircles the water-line to the height of the main-deck

beams, coming down in a curve forward well over the ram. There is no

fore-and-aft fire from the casemate, the ship being wall-sided. The bow

redoubt cuts off the point of the bow above the spar-deck beams and

protects a bow-gun working in a single port. There is a high, oval,

armored pilot-house just abaft the main-mast. No stern-fire. Single

screw and full sail-power.

[Illustration: FRIEDRICH KARL.]

SACHSEN. BAIERN. WÜRTEMBERG.

(Two others not yet named.)

Partial armored belt and two barbette casemates. Ram bow, round stern.

Half sail-power (brig rigged). Four smoke-stacks. The belt forms a

casemate for the boilers and engines, covering the middle third of the

ship, the lower edge being prolonged in a heavy steel deck, which, aft,

protects the steering-gear. This casemate rises to the spar-deck beams.

At its after-end a high, rectangular barbette casemate rises well up

above the spar-deck rail, giving clear fore-and-aft and beam fir to

its four guns. At the forward end of the casemate is an oval barbette

turret (vide Temeraire, English) amidships, giving clear bow and beam

fire to its single gun. These ships gain a nearly perfect all-around

fire from the heaviest calibre guns, with a maximum thickness of armor.

They combine great armor and battery strength with light draft and

displacement.

[Illustration: SACHSEN.]

HANSA.

[Illustration: HANSA.]

Armored belt and double-decked redoubt. Swan-breasted bow strengthened

for ramming, pointed stern, single screw, full sail-power. The belt

encircles the water-line to the height of the main-deck. The main-deck

redoubt is short and does not give fore-and-aft fire, the ship being

wall-sided. The upper-deck redoubt, rising a little above the spar-deck

rail, is octagonal, to permit angular ports for fore-and-aft and beam

fire. The spar-deck rail is carried inboard parallel to the keel to

open the angular ports.

ARMINIUS.

[Illustration: ARMINIUS.]

Double-turreted monitor, with ram bow and no overhang. Light flying

deck, single screw. (American type modified.)

PRINZ ADALBERT.

Armored belt, double redoubt. Long ram bow, round stern, single screw,

half sail-power. The belt encircles the water-line to the height of the

upper deck. The curve of the ram bow is carried up, forming a spar-deck

redoubt, giving protection to a single heavy bow-gun working in one

port. A second redoubt, well aft, gives protection to two guns, each

working in two ports for fore-and-aft and beam fire. A superstructure

aft cuts off the stern-fire from these guns, and the forward redoubt

cuts off the bow-fire. The shape of both of the redoubts is nearly

circular. The Stonewall (Confederate) belonged to this type. (Sister

ships.)

[Illustration: PRINZ ADALBERT.]

WESPE. VIPER. BIENE. MÜCKE. SCORPION. BASILISK. RHEIN. MOSEL.

(Four others not yet named.)

Small, light-draft, armored gun-boats. All except the Rhein and Mosel

have an armored belt and a horseshoe-shaped traverse, giving protection

to the crew of a single barbette gun, which gives only bow-fire. They

are provided with rams. The Rhein and Mosel are light-draft monitors,

similar to the Austrian Danube gun-boats. (See Austrian Danube

monitors.) The Wespe class belongs to the English Staunch and the

French Farcy type.

KONING DER NEDERLANDEN. PRINZ HENDRIK.

Double-turreted, high-sided, sea-going monitors. Armored belt and

casemate; ram bow, straight stern. The belt encloses the water-line to

the height of the main-deck beams. The casemate encloses the bottoms of

the turrets, engines, and boilers, occupying the middle third of the

vessel. The fore-and-aft fire of the turret guns is completely cut off

by the superstructures forming forecastle and cabin, and which rise to

the height of the top of the turrets.

[Illustration: PRINZ HENDRIK.]

These superstructures are cut in at the ends nearest the turrets to

open the fire as much as possible, increasing slightly the firing-angle

and almost completely destroying the necessary freeboard. Between

the turrets is a third superstructure, musket-proof, protecting the

approaches to the boilers and engines. At the forward end of this

superstructure is a musket-proof pilot-house. Double screws, full

sail-power, with tripod fore and main masts. These ships are a medium

between the Wyvern and the ill-fated Captain. Bow and stern fire are

secured by light unprotected guns.

High-sided ram monitors. Armored belt, casemate, and single turret. Ram

bow and round stern. The belt encircles the water-line to the height

of the main-deck beams. The casemate surrounds the foot of the turret

only. The turret has perfect all-around fire, being large enough to

give stern-fire past the smoke-stack. A superstructure gives a full

freeboard all around as high as the top of the casemate, furnishing

quarters. The upper deck carries a light barbette battery of bow,

stern, and broadside guns. Twin screw and half sail-power.

KROKODIL. HEILIGERLEE. CERBERUS. BLOEDHOUND. TIYGER.

Single-turreted low monitors, with high superstructures forward and

abaft the turret cutting off the fore-and-aft fire. Twin screws,

half-sail power.

DANDOLO. DUILIO. ITALIA. LEPANTO.

Armored-casemate, double-turreted monitor ships. Ram bow, overhanging

stern. The casemate surrounds the boilers, engines, and turrets,

occupying about one third of the ship. The lower edge of the casemate

is carried forward and aft in a steel deck three inches thick, the deck

curving down forward below the point of the ram. The upper deck is also

plated fore and aft with two-inch steel plates. The turrets are placed

diagonally to open full fore-and-aft and beam fire. The two sets of

boilers and engines are grouped one abaft the other, the boilers being

arranged transversely between the sets of engines. Twin screws, no

sail-power, no superstructure. Designed by Admiral Brin.

[Illustration: DUILIO.]

PALESTRO. PRINCIPE AMADEO.

Armored belt and double casemate. Swan breast, ram bow, straight stern.

The belt encloses the water-line to the height of the main-deck beams.

Forward is a double casemate or traverse (the rear being unprotected)

rising to the top of the topgallant forecastle, and giving protection

to two heavy guns on the main-deck, working each in two ports for bow

and beam fire, and one heavy rifle on the upper deck working in two

ports over the forward main-deck ones for bow-fire. The bow-frames are

distorted to open the fire on the main-deck. Aft is a long main-deck

traverse protecting four heavy rifles, giving two guns for stern-fire

and, if desired, three for beam-fire (one gun may be shifted from side

to side). The stern-frames, like those of the bow, are distorted to get

stern-fire. Single screw, full sail-power.

[Illustration: PALESTRO.]

VENEZIA. ROMA.

[Illustration: VENEZIA.]

Armored belt, long main-deck casemate, and upper-deck bow and stern

traverses. Straight bow, round stern. The belt encircles the water-line

to the height of the main-deck beams. The casemate is long and

trapezoidal in shape, with the corners cut to allow angular ports for

fore-and-aft fire. The side forward and abaft the casemate is given a

rank tumble home to open the fore-and-aft fire. The casemate surrounds

the boilers and engines. On the spar-deck are bow and stern traverses,

each protecting a gun working in a single port. The bow and stern upper

rail is cut off by the traverses sufficient to give them square fronts.

Single screw, full sail-power.

ANCONA. CASTELFIDARDO. MARIA PIA. SAN MARTINO. CONTE VERDE. MESSINA.

[Illustration: MARIA PIA.]

Armored-belt and long-casemate, broadside frigates. Ram bows and round

sterns. The armored belt encloses the water-line to the main-deck

beams, and is carried up in the casemate to the spar-deck beams.

No fore-and-aft fire except from light upper-deck guns. An armored

pilot-house just forward of the mizzen-mast. Single screw, full

sail-power.

TERRIBILE. FORMIDABILE. VARESE.

Old-type floating batteries. The Varese has the corners of her casemate

cut to give fore-and-aft and beam fire. Walls of casemate tumble home

at a sharp angle. Ram bows, twin screws, no sail-power.

AFFONDATORE.

[Illustration: AFFONDATORE.]

Double-turreted monitor ram. High-sided, with half sail-power and

superstructures forward and abaft the turrets. Armored belt enclosing

the water-line to the upper-deck beams. Long ram bow, continued up

and forming a topgallant forecastle nearly as high as the top of the

turret. Musket-proof superstructure surrounding the engine-room.

Stern-frames carried up to form a spar-deck cabin. No fore-and-aft

fire. Single screw. This vessel was the Italian flag-ship at the Battle

of Lissa.

FOO-SOO.

Armored belt and redoubt. Ram bow, round stern. Belt encircling the

water-line to the height of the main-deck beams, and covering the ram.

Square central redoubt, having an overhang of about three feet, the

corners being cut off to permit angular ports for fore-and-aft and beam

fire. The sides above the main-deck beams are given a rank tumble home

to open the fore-and-aft fire of the redoubt. On top of the redoubt a

heavy rifle is mounted on each side in barbette, giving a firing-angle

of 180°. Designed by Reed. This ship resembles very closely in type the

French Redoubtable.

KONG-GO. HI-YEI.

Armored-belt, broadside corvettes. The belt comes to the height of the

upper-deck beams, but ends short of the bow and stern in an armored

bulkhead. There is no fore-and-aft fire from the main battery. Two

heavy bow-guns are carried under the forecastle in recessed ports,

giving bow and beam fire. One stern-gun working in two recessed ports

gives stern and beam fire. Single screw, full sail-power. Long yacht

bow and round stern.

KO-TETS-EEN (LATE STONEWALL).

Armored belt and redoubt, long ram bow, round stern, single screw, and

half sail-power. This vessel is almost the exact counterpart of the

Prinz Adalbert (German). Both ships were built at Bordeaux.

RIO-JIO-KAN.

Partial armored belt, from about three feet below the water-line to the

height of the spar-deck beams, ending forward and abaft the battery

in armored bulkheads. There is no fore-and-aft fire from the battery,

and only bow-fire from a light rifle. The disposition of the armor is

similar to that of the Warrior. The hull is divided into several large

water-tight compartments, and the long yacht-bow is strengthened for

ramming. Single screw, full sail-power.

Low freeboard, single-turreted monitors. (See Passaic, American.)

ODIN.

Armored belt and casemate. Ram bow, straight stern, low freeboard. The

Odin belongs to the floating-battery type; her casemate rising above

the deck-level with tumble-home sides, and ports in all four faces for

all-around fire.

[Illustration: GARMER.]

THE TWELVE SWEDISH MONITOR GUN BOATS.

Armored belt and fixed turret, twin screws, no sail power. The turret

is dome-shaped, with a small dome-shaped armored pilot-house on its

after-end. The sides of the turret curve into a steep glacis, which is

carried out nearly to the side of the ship, the deck in wake of the

turret being merely a narrow platform for passing fore and aft without

difficulty. The single heavy gun is worked on a turn-table in five

ports for all-around fire. The after-part of the turret is carried on

in a superstructure covering the engines, boilers, and hatchways. A

light flying deck or bridge is carried around the upper part of the

turret. The armor of the side and turret is curved in every section,

so as not to present a fair target for striking in any position.

The ellipsoidal bow is very strong, and is heavily strengthened for

ramming.

INDEPENDENCIA (wrecked in action with the Covadonga).

Armored casemate, ram bow, straight stern, single screw, half

sail-power. The armor covers the water-line and rises to the height of

the spar-deck beams, ending forward and abaft the battery in armored

bulkheads. There is no fore-and-aft fire from the casemate, this fire

being secured by a single bow and a single stern-gun mounted on the

spar-deck, unprotected.

coming below the ram. The casemate rises above the deck, the corners

being cut to permit angular ports for fore-and-aft and beam fire. The

rail is carried back slightly and the casemate has an overhang of three

feet, giving the vessel, at a distance, the appearance of a paddle

steamer. Single screw, full sail-power.

SEVASTOPOL. PETROPAULOWSKI.

Armored belt and casemate, swan-breasted ram bow, round stern, single

screw, full sail-power. The belt encircles the water-line to the height

of the main-deck beams. The casemate rises to the spar-deck beams, with

armored bulkheads forward and abaft. No fore-and-aft fire from the

casemate, the ships being wall-sided. (See Achilles, English.)

KNJAZ POZARSKI.

Armored belt and casemate; ram bow, round stern, single screw, full

sail-power. Corners of casemate cut to permit angular fire. (See

Hercules, English.) Double iron hull, very flat-bottomed, and having

two bilge-keels in place of a main-keel. Bow and stern fire from light

spar-deck guns, unprotected.

PERWENEC. NETRONZ-MENYA. KREML.

[Illustration: PERWENEC.]

Completely armored broadside frigates, ram bow, overhang stern, single

screw, full sail-power. (See Numancia, Spanish.) The Kreml has her

bow and stern spar-deck rails recessed for fore-and-aft fire. (See

Amethyst, English.) The sides of these ships tumble home from the

water-line at an angle of 15°.

LAZAREFF. GREIGH. CICAGOFF. SPIRIDOFF.

American type of low-freeboard, revolving-turreted monitors, with

strengthened bows for ramming. The Lazareff and Greigh have three

turrets, the others two.

SISTOV. NIKOPOLIS.

Floating batteries. Armored belt and casemate built on upper deck, with

ports in all four faces for all-around fire. (See Embuscade, French.)

GENERAL ADMIRAL. HERZOG VON EDINBURGH.

Armored belt and armored barbette casemate. Straight bow, long,

peculiarly-shaped dome stern, single screw, full sail-power. The belt

encircles the water-line to the height of the main-deck beams, and

the main-deck is protected by steel plates two inches in thickness.

The barbette casemate is square, low-browed, and has considerable

overhang, rising clear of the spar-deck to a height of about four feet,

and protecting the carriages of six heavy pivot-rifles giving clear

fore-and-aft and beam fire. The symmetry of the hull is preserved

throughout. These ships carry a very great coal supply, sufficient to

carry them a distance of 6000 miles at a speed of ten knots.

[Illustration: GENERAL ADMIRAL.]

MININ.

[Illustration: MININ.]

Originally laid down for a casemated monitor, but subsequently

transformed into an armored-belt corvette. Straight bow and stern,

the bow being heavily strengthened for ramming,single screw, full

sail-power (double topsail-yards). The belt encloses the water-line to

the height of the upper deck. The battery is all on the upper deck and

entirely unprotected. The upper-deck rail is so fashioned as to give

four guns for bow and four for stern fire. Forward it is recessed on

each bow, and similarly astern for the forward and after guns to get

bow and beam fire. (See Amethyst, English.) The platform for the next

pair of guns (forward and aft) has an overhang of about three feet (see

Tourville, French), in order to give them clear fore-and-aft and beam

fire also. The remainder of the battery is broadside. Her spar-deck

rail is very high (about eight feet); she has a topgallant forecastle

and poop-cabin. Amidships there is a bridge for discharging Whitehead

torpedoes.

PETER THE GREAT.

Armored, belt, breastwork, and double-turreted sea-going monitor,

straight bow strengthened for ramming, double screws, no sail-power.

Musket-proof superstructure between the turrets expanding into a flying

deck. The belt has an overhang similar to the American monitors.

General type similar to the Dreadnaught.

[Illustration: PETER THE GREAT.]

ADMIRAL POPOFF. NOVGOROD.

[Illustration]

Armored belt and barbette casemate, circular iron-clads. Six screws,

no sail-power. The belt of these ships encloses the water-line to

the height of the low freeboard. The deck has more than the ordinary

spring, forming a sort of light glacis. In the centre of the vessel

rises a circular barbette casemate, covering the carriages of two heavy

guns mounted on a turn-table within it. Forward and aft the top of the

casemate is continued in a musket-proof superstructure, having aft a

musket-proof pilot-house. The forward section of the vessel is heavily

strengthened for ramming. The two smoke-stacks are placed one either

side of the casemate.

[Illustration: _Stern View_]

[Illustration]

DOUBLE AND SINGLE TURRETED MONITORS.

These vessels are of the general type of the American monitors, with

slight freeboard, great overhang, and double screws. The turret is

raised somewhat higher than in the American monitors, and the foot is

protected by a glacis. The turret is also somewhat larger, giving clear

fire past the smoke-stacks. Pilot-house on top of the turret.
