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.

SCORPIONEN. MJOLNER. THRUDVANG. THOR. JOHN ERICSSON. THORDON. TJIFING. LOKE.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ADMIRAL POPOFF. NOVGOROD.

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.

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.

AMPHITRITE. MIANTONOMOH. PURITAN. MONADNOCK. TERROR.

Double-turreted, low-freeboard monitor vessels. No overhang. Turrets suspended on a central spindle on the Ericsson system. Resting normally on their bases, but elevated for revolving by means of hydraulic presses. Conning tower on top of each turret. Light flying deck between the turrets, with a ventilating shaft rising just abaft the smoke-stack. Twin screws.

THE FIFTEEN SINGLE-TURRETED MONITORS.

Old-type, single-turreted, low-freeboard monitors. All except the Dictator have an overhang. In some the turrets are raised by driving wedges under the spindle; in others by hydraulic presses. Conning tower on top of the turret. Laminated plating.

INTREPID.

Armored torpedo vessel. Ram bow, round stern, twin screws, partial sail-power. The armored belt, made up of five inches of laminated plating, encircles the water-line to the height of the upper-deck beams. The lower part of the smoke-stack is protected by a belt of nine inches of laminated plating. The deck is made up of two ¾-inch thicknesses of plate covered by a wooden deck. The pilot-house forward is musket-proof. The hull is of iron, with a wood backing to the armor of eleven inches. Aft is a light wooden superstructure, forming quarters for officers. The vessel carries no guns and is provided with torpedo-spars (one forward and four broadside).

ALARM.

Partially armored torpedo gun-boat. Ram bow, pointed stern. Mallory steering-screw; no sail-power. The bow of the vessel is provided with an armored traverse of four inches thickness, the remainder of the hull being unprotected. One 15-inch smooth-bore is carried forward, firing only straight ahead. It is the intention to replace this by a 10-inch rifle. The hull is of iron and double, with cellular compartments and water-tight compartments in addition. Three torpedo-spars are projected. One from the snout of the ram a distance of 30 feet, and one from each beam 17 feet. Musket-proof pilot-house aft. Steel ⅜-inch deck-plate under a wooden deck.
