| Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Cyclops class
monitor was a group of four breastwork monitors built for the Royal Navy
during the 1870s. They were slightly modified versions of the
Cerberus-class monitors. The ships were ordered to satisfy demands for
local defence during the war scare of 1870, but the pace of construction
slowed down tremendously as the perceived threat of war declined. The
Cyclops-class monitors spent most of their careers in reserve and were
finally sold off in 1903. The Cyclops-class ships had a complete
waterline belt of wrought iron that was 8 inches (203 mm) thick
amidships and thinned to 6 inches (152 mm) at the ends. The
superstructure and conning tower was fully armoured, the reason it was
called a breastwork, with 8-9 inches (203-229 mm) of wrought iron. |
