ALMIRANTE COCHRANE. BLANCO ENCALADA.
Armored belt and redoubt, ram bow, round stern, twin screws,
three-quarter sail-power. The armored belt encloses the water-line
to the height of the main-deck beams. The redoubt is crenelated, the
after-part having an overhang of about five feet, thus giving clear
forward fire to the first two pairs of guns. The ship’s side forward
and abaft the redoubt is given a rank tumble home to open the fire.
Clear, flush upper deck.
