HMS Northumberland (1866)
HMS ''Northumberland'' was the last of the three armoured frigates built for the Royal Navy during the 1860s. She had a different armour scheme and heavier armament than her sister ships, and was generally regarded as a half-sister to the other ships of the class. The ship spent her career with the Channel Fleet and occasionally served as a flagship. ''Northumberland'' was placed in reserve in 1890 and became a training ship in 1898. She was converted into a coal hulk in 1909 and sold in 1927, although the ship was not scrapped until 1935.
==Design and description==
The ''Minotaur''-class armoured frigates〔Ironclad is the all-encompassing term for armoured warships of this period. 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〕
''Northumberland'' was long between perpendiculars and had a beam of and a draught of . The ship displaced and had a tonnage of 6,621 tons burthen.〔Ballard, p. 241〕 Her hull was subdivided by 15 watertight transverse bulkheads and had a double bottom underneath the engine and boiler rooms. The ship was considered "a steady gun platform, able to maintain her speed in a seaway and satisfactory in manoeuvre".〔Parkes, pp. 60, 67〕 She was authorized a crew of 705 officers and enlisted men, but actually carried 800 men.〔
