Eclipse class cruiser

:"For the 1867 class of sloop (later corvette) see:Eclipse class sloop"The "Eclipse"-class cruisers of the Royal Navy were protected cruisers constructed in the mid-1890s.

They were enlarged versions of the preceding "Astraea" class. Between 1903 and 1905, all of the ships in the class except for "Eclipse" had their mixed 6 inch and 4.7 inch guns removed and replaced with a uniform armament of 11 modern 6 inch guns.
