INDEPENDENCIA (wrecked in action with the Covadonga).
Armored casemate, ram bow, straight stern, single screw, half sail-power. The armor covers the water-line and rises to the height of the spar-deck beams, ending forward and abaft the battery in armored bulkheads. There is no fore-and-aft fire from the casemate, this fire being secured by a single bow and a single stern-gun mounted on the spar-deck, unprotected.
