PRINZ HENDRIK. Double-turreted, high-sided, sea-going monitors. Armored belt and casemate; ram bow, straight stern. The belt encloses the water-line to the height of the main-deck beams. The casemate encloses the bottoms of the turrets, engines, and boilers, occupying the middle third of the vessel. The fore-and-aft fire of the turret guns is completely cut off by the superstructures forming forecastle and cabin, and which rise to the height of the top of the turrets. [Illustration: PRINZ HENDRIK.] These superstructures are cut in at the ends nearest the turrets to open the fire as much as possible, increasing slightly the firing-angle and almost completely destroying the necessary freeboard. Between the turrets is a third superstructure, musket-proof, protecting the approaches to the boilers and engines. At the forward end of this superstructure is a musket-proof pilot-house. Double screws, full sail-power, with tripod fore and main masts. These ships are a medium between the Wyvern and the ill-fated Captain. Bow and stern fire are secured by light unprotected guns.

Ram bow and round stern. The belt encircles the water-line to the height of the main-deck beams. The casemate surrounds the foot of the turret only. The turret has perfect all-around fire, being large enough to give stern-fire past the smoke-stack. A superstructure gives a full freeboard all around as high as the top of the casemate, furnishing quarters. The upper deck carries a light barbette battery of bow, stern, and broadside guns. Twin screw and half sail-power. KROKODIL. HEILIGERLEE. CERBERUS. BLOEDHOUND. TIYGER. Single-turreted low monitors, with high superstructures forward and abaft the turret cutting off the fore-and-aft fire. Twin screws, half-sail power. [Illustration: BLOEDHOUND.] VAHALIS. ISALA. RHENUS. MOSA. MERVA. Light-draft, single-turreted monitors. The turret is elevated and surrounded by a casemate having a tumble home of 35°. DUTCH UNARMORED FLEET. (FAST CRUISERS.)
