Neptune Class (1881) BB |
|
| HMS
Neptune was completed as a class of one. She was ordered as the Indepencia
for the Brazilian Government but was taken over during the Russo-Turkish
War crisis.
She was a very unsatisfactory design. She had two gun turrets but had a forecastle, and a poop which meant the turrets could only fire on the beam. She was also fitted with trunk engines when triple expansion steam was being fitted in all contemporary ships.
