HMS Agincourt (1865)
HMS ''Agincourt'' was a armoured frigate built for the Royal Navy during the 1860s. She spent most of her career as the flagship of the Channel Fleet's second-in-command. During the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78, she was one of the ironclads sent to Constantinople to forestall a Russian occupation of the Ottoman capital. ''Agincourt'' participated in Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee Fleet Review in 1887. The ship was placed in reserve two years later and served as a training ship from 1893 to 1909. That year she was converted into a coal hulk and renamed as ''C.109''. ''Agincourt'' served at Sheerness until sold for scrap in 1960.

Armoured frigates were basically designed for the same role as traditional wooden frigates, but this later changed as the size and expense of these ships forced them to be used in the line of battle.〕 were essentially enlarged versions of the ironclad with heavier armament, armour, and more powerful engines. They retained the broadside ironclad layout of their predecessor, but their sides were fully armoured to protect the 50 guns they were designed to carry. Their plough-shaped ram was also more prominent than that of ''Achilles''.〔Parkes, pp. 60–61〕
The ships were long between perpendiculars and long overall. They had a beam of and a draft of .〔Silverstone, p. 157〕 The ''Minotaur''-class ships displaced .〔Ballard, p. 241〕 Their hull was subdivided by 15 watertight transverse bulkheads and had a double bottom underneath the engine and boiler rooms.〔Parkes, p. 60〕
''Agincourt'' was considered "an excellent sea-boat and a steady gun platform, but unhandy under steam and practically unmanageable under sail"〔Ballard, p. 24〕 as built. The ship's steadiness was partially a result of her metacentric height of .〔Parkes, p. 63〕
