Aragon-class cruiser
The ''Aragon'' class of unprotected cruisers was a series of three cruisers built between the late 1860s and early 1880s for service with the Spanish Navy. They were named for historic regions and kingdoms of Spain.
== Description ==
Construction of the ''Aragon''-class cruises as armored corvettes with a central battery ironclad design began in 1869, with plans to give them 890 tons of armor and 500 mm (19.7 inches) of armor at the waterline. In 1870, their design was changed to that of an unprotected cruiser or wooden corvette; political events delayed their construction, but they finally were launched in this form in the years between 1879 and 1881 and completed in 1880 and 1882.〔(The Spanish-American War Centennial Website: Spanish Wooden Cruisers ); (The Spanish-American War Centennial Website: ''Castilla'' )〕 Their original conception as armored ships and the change to an unarmored one during construction left them with an overly heavy wooden hull that was obsolescent by the time they were launched.〔''Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1860–1905'', p. 383〕
The ships had two funnels and were rigged as barques.〔 The lead unit's machinery was manufactured by the John Penn Company in the United Kingdom, while her sisters' was manufactured at the naval shipyard at Ferrol following John Penn's pattern.〔 The original main battery of Armstrong-built 8-inch (203-mm) guns was obsolescent when the ships were completed, and were quickly replaced with more modern guns mounted in sponsons, with ''Aragon'' more heavily armed than her sisters.〔 Designed for colonial service, they were never intended to fight the kind of heavily armed, armored, steel-hulled warships ''Castilla'' would face in the Battle of Manila Bay.〔(The Spanish-American War Centennial Website: ''Castilla'' )〕
