Complement, 558. Belt, 230 ft., and breadth, 8 ft. 6 in., and forms with the boundary bulkheads the lower citadel the side is thus protected 5 ft. 6 in. below water, and 3 ft. above water; the plating varies from 20 to 14 in., tapering at the lower edge from 8 to 6 in., while the bulkheads are armoured by 16 and 14 in. plating forward and aft respectively, tapering downwards to 7 in, It will be seen that each of the ends are denuded of vertical armour for the space of 58 ft. (fifty-eight feet) they are, however, protected by a 3 in. (three inch) sloping steel deck in continuation of the belt. Above the lower or belt citadel is the citadel proper, 141 ft. long, at the sides of the ship, but having an extreme length from the centres of the curved bulkheads of 193 ft. The plating varies from 18 to 16 in., the thickness of bulkheads to protect bases of turrets being Main deck between the ends of citadel and end of armed belt is covered with reduced to 8 in. two thicknesses of steel plating. These figures will give an idea of the defensive capacity of the ship in reality the protection is of still greater solidity owing to backing, &c. Both Turrets and Guns are worked by hydraulic power. Turrets are built at each end of citadel, and armoured to the thickness of 18 in., and will mount together four 67-pounder breechloaders] Upon the citadel is a box battery, pierced for six 4-7-in. 45-pounder Q.F. Guns. The ship has also seventeen 6-pounders and 3-pounders, Q.F. Guns, four M. Guns, and eight Tubes for Magazine and Shell Rooms are located in lower part of watertight discharging Torpedoes.
