Design and description
Vasilissa OlgaШаблон:'s design was derived from that of the Austro-Hungarian broadside ironclads of the Шаблон:Sclass.[1] The ship had a length overall of Шаблон:Convert long, a beam of Шаблон:Convert and a draft of Шаблон:Convert at deep load. The ship displaced Шаблон:Convert and was fitted with a single steam engine that drove one propeller.[2] The engine was rated at Шаблон:Convert which gave her a speed of Шаблон:Convert. For long-distance travel, Vasilissa Olga was fitted with three masts and was barque rigged. She carried Шаблон:Convert of coal.[3]
The ironclad was armed with a pair of Шаблон:Convert guns and ten 70-pounders, all of which were Armstrong rifled muzzle-loading guns. Vasilissa Olga had a complete waterline armor belt that was Шаблон:Cvt thick amidships and reduced to Шаблон:Cvt at her ends. Above the belt amidships was an armored citadel that was protected by Шаблон:Convert plates on all four sides.[1]
Construction and service
Vasilissa Olga, named for Queen Olga of Greece, was originally ordered by Chile[2] from the Austro-Hungarian shipbuilder Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino, but Greece took over the contract in December 1868. The ship was laid down in 1868, launched in 1869 and completed in 1871. She was rearmed in 1880 and was converted into a gunnery training ship in 1897. During this conversion, Vasilissa Olga was re-engined and her sailing rig was replaced by two military masts. She was scrapped in 1925.[1]
