MESS OUDIEH. NUSS RATIJH.
Armored belt and casemate, ram bow, round stern, single screw, full sail-power. Sister-ships to the Superb (English). The armored belt rises to the height of the main-deck beams, but does not cover the point of the ram. The casemate is of the same type as that of the Hercules, but longer, the sides being recessed forward and abaft for angular ports. Fore-and-aft fire is obtained from unprotected bow and stern-guns on the spar-deck, working in single ports.
MESS OUDIEH.
AZIZIE. MAHMUDIE. ORCHANIE. OSMANIE.
Completely armored broadside frigates, with a low redoubt or traverse on the forecastle. Swan-breasted ram bow, round stern, single screw, full sail-power. The bow traverse protects two forward guns, each working in two ports, for bow and beam fire. This traverse rounds off the spar-deck rail some distance abaft the stern, which is carried up as a support for the bow-sprit. Armored pilot-house at the rear of the traverse.
