Giuseppe Garibaldi-class cruiser
The ''Giuseppe Garibaldi''-class cruisers were a class of ten armoured cruisers built in Italy in the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century. The ships were built for both the Royal Italian Navy (''Regia Marina'') and for export.
==Design and description==
The design of the ''Giuseppe Garibaldi''-class cruiser was derived by the naval architect Edoardo Masdea from his earlier design. The ''Garibaldi''s were slightly larger and about a knot faster than their predecessors, but the primary improvement was the addition of two gun turrets, one each fore and aft of the superstructure. These remedied a major weakness of the older ships in that their primary armament, being on the broadside, could not engage targets that were directly in front or behind. The design was so popular that ten cruisers were purchased by four different countries; the Royal Italian Navy, the Argentine Navy, the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the Spanish Navy. As might be expected over a group of ships that was built from 1892 to 1903, design improvements and more modern equipment were incorporated over time so that only the three ships actually accepted by Italy were true sisters.〔Solari, pp. 43–44〕
The first five ships were built to the same measurements, and form the ''Garibaldi'' sub-class, but the last five were stretched by six frames amidships, and comprise the ''Giuseppe Garibaldi'' sub-class. The ships of the first group had an overall length of , a beam of and a deep draft (ship) of . They displaced at normal load.〔Solari, p. 44〕 The second ship purchased by Argentina, , is reported by some sources to have had a beam of and therefore displaced some more than the others.〔Chesneau & Kolesnik, p. 351〕〔Silverstone, p. 11〕
The class was unusual in that they did not have a uniform main armament. Some had single guns in gun turrets fore and aft; others (including ''Kasuga'') had a mixed armament of a single gun in one turret and another turret with twin guns. A third variation (including ''Nisshin'') was a uniform armament of four guns in twin gun turrets fore and aft. ''Cristobal Colon'' was fitted with defective 10-inch guns which were removed before it was committed to combat. Therefore, it only went to battle with 10 smokeless powder Armstrong six inch guns mounted in the hull (5 on each side).
