Project history

Typical French-designed coast defence battleships with low freeboard, long superstructures and single-gun main turrets arranged close to ships ends. They were built in France, but armed by British artillery (Armstrong). Ships had thick, but very narrow armored belt tapered to lower edge. Most modern Brazilian capital ships for their time, they completely become outdated to WWI.

Ship protection

Complete 1.68m deep belt was 350mm thick at the top and 150mm at the bottom amidships, tapering to 100mm at the ends, and there was 45mm sloping protective deck.

Modernizations

1912, both: boilers were replaced by 8 Babcock & Wilcox with oil-firing (400t of oil).
