Text Appearing Before Image:
dary battery of twelve6-pounder and six i-pounder rapid-fire guns and twoCatling guns. The 13-in. guns are mounted in pairs on the center lineunder protection of improved steel turrets 17 in. in thick-ness, working inside of a raised barbette with steel armor17 in. in thickness. These barbette-turrets are of the sametype as those adopted for the Puritan, Amphitrite, Maineand Monterey, and are of the latest improved design ;the armor of the turrets being inclined, offers a resistanceequal to that of 19 in. horizontally placed. The 8-in. guns are mounted in similar barbette-turrets6 in. in thickness. The ammunition is supplied througharmored tubes, and every consideration has been given torealizing as rapid a service as possible. The four 6-in.guns are fought under protection of 4 in. of armor, andhave the usual shields. The fire from four 13-in. guns,three 8 in., two 6 in., and eight 6-pdrs., can be concen-trated on either bow or quarter. 392 THE RAILROAD AND (September, i8go. P 1)// /
Text Appearing After Image:
The water-line is protected by abelt of steel of a maximuin thicknessof i8 in., backed up by wood, behindwhich are two thicknesses of 3 4-in.plates powerfully stiffened by a sys-tem of vertical and horizontal gir-ders. Above this belt is a casementof 5A-in. armor to prevent riddlingabove the belt, and to break up pro-jectiles charged with high explosives.Diagonal bulkheads are worked atthe ends of the belt, and from thearmored deck, which is worked overthe vessel at top of belt, rise the re-doubts, protecting the turning andloading gear of the turrets for theheavy gups. A deep belt of coal is car-ried above the armor-deck,addingstillfurther protection against gun fire. In wake of the boilers are fourskins and a i2-ft. bunker of coal,making it practically impossible fora torpedo to make a hole that will letwater into the fire-room. Behind the armor of the belt andsurrounded on all sides by coal aretwo wide passages, one on eachside, connecting the passing roomsfor ammunition at the end
