Armored belt and casemate. (See Foo Soo, Japanese.) Ram bow, straight stern. The belt encircles the hull to the height of the upper deck, 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.
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.
GENERAL ADMIRAL.
MININ.
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.
PETER THE GREAT.
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.
Stern View
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.
