Amiral Baudin class battleship
- Amiral Baudin class battleship
The "Amiral Baudin" class was a type of ironclad battleships of the French Navy.
They were built on a design similar to that of "Amiral Duperré", enlarged and designed from the start to use steam propulsion only. The layout was designed in 1879, when it was competitive, but by 1888, time of the completion of the ships, it was already largely obsolete.
They were upgraded with armoured masts carrying small guns. The last ship of the series, "Hoche", was so largely modified over the original design that she is often considered to be a single ship.
