Project history

More usually known as the Cécille, this ship generally resembled the Tage and was originally rigged as a barque without royals. Seven of the 165mm were on the upper deck, six being in sponsons and one firing right ahead, while the eighth gun was right aft on the poop. The 139mm were on the main deck broadside.

Ship protection

The protective deck was 55mm total on the flat and 100mm on the slopes which ended 1.3m below water. There was a cofferdam above the protective deck, and the battery was closed by 80mm bulkheads between the main and upper deck, with 90mm on the CT. She appears to have had better underwater compartmentation than the Tage.
