AMIRAL DUPERRÉ. DUGUESCLIN.
Armored belt and four barbette turrets. Ram bow and overhanging dome
stern. The armor-belt covers the water-line to the height of the
main-deck beams, coming below the point of the ram and covering the
steering-gear. The barbette turrets are arranged one on each side,
abreast the forward smoke-stack, having an overhang of nearly half
its diameter, so as to give clear fore-and-aft fire. The other two
turrets are amidships, before and abaft the mizzen-mast. There are two
armored pilot-houses on the Duperré, one abreast the forward turrets
and one between the after ones; the Duguesclin has but one, forward.
The gun-deck battery is composed of light rifled guns, unprotected.
The deck plating of these ships is three inches in thickness (one inch
steel over two inches of iron). A bow-gun works in a single port under
the topgallant forecastle.
