Typical complement: 44-57
Estimated cost, $99,000 (£25,000)
Remarks:
Relative extent of belt armor, 60 percent of 'typical' coverage.
Ship has slow, easy roll; a good, steady gun platform.
Good seaboat; rides out heavy weather easily.
Magazines and engineering spaces are roomy, with superior
watertight
subdivision.
Cramped ship; poor crew accommodation, limited working space.
Main deck QF guns subject to being washed down in a seaway.
