----------------+------+-----+---+------+---+----+---+------------- SCORPIONEN. MJOLNER. THRUDVANG. THOR. JOHN ERICSSON. THORDON. TJIFING. LOKE. Low freeboard, single-turreted monitors. (See Passaic, American.) ODIN. Armored belt and casemate. Ram bow, straight stern, low freeboard. The Odin belongs to the floating-battery type; her casemate rising above the deck-level with tumble-home sides, and ports in all four faces for all-around fire. [Illustration: GARMER.] THE TWELVE SWEDISH MONITOR GUN BOATS. Armored belt and fixed turret, twin screws, no sail power. The turret is dome-shaped, with a small dome-shaped armored pilot-house on its after-end. The sides of the turret curve into a steep glacis, which is carried out nearly to the side of the ship, the deck in wake of the turret being merely a narrow platform for passing fore and aft without difficulty. The single heavy gun is worked on a turn-table in five ports for all-around fire. The after-part of the turret is carried on in a superstructure covering the engines, boilers, and hatchways. A light flying deck or bridge is carried around the upper part of the turret. The armor of the side and turret is curved in every section, so as not to present a fair target for striking in any position. The ellipsoidal bow is very strong, and is heavily strengthened for ramming. NORWEGIAN AND SWEDISH UNARMORED FLEET.
