OLGA.
Completely armored broadside frigate or large corvette; ram bow, straight stern. Armor-belt enclosing water-line to the height of spar-deck beams. (See Maria Pia, Italian.)
GEORGIUS.
Armored belt and hexagonal casemate amidships. The rail forward of the casemate is carried inboard parallel to the keel to open the bow-fire from the casemate. Abaft, the rail is cut in for some distance from the casemate, and given a rank tumble home, to open the after-fire. No stern-fire. Double screws, three-quarter sail-power. The armor has a backing of ten inches. The guns work on turn-tables, one on each side, and have a firing-angle of about 110° from each port.
