Project history

Ship had 4 single main gun turrets in a rhombic arrangement and twin secondary gun turrets. Steel-hulled, wood and copper sheathed. Fast 2nd class battleship, rather strong for her time.

The citadel amidships protected the engine and boiler rooms and extended to the upper deck, and was closed by 80mm bulkheads. There was 50mm deck on the belt outside the citadel.
