The French Warship Montcalm in 1902 Built at La Seyne, the Montcalm was an armoured cruiser of a somewhat peculiar sight. She belonged to a group of three and displaced 9,517 tons. Amidships she had a belt of 6 in of Harveyised nickel steel, which tapered to the ends, but she had other armour above it and forward. Her two 7.6 in guns were well protected, she also carried eight 6.4 in guns which were also behind armour. She had 20 Normand boilers, and was capable of a speed of 21 knots. It was easy to recognise this class because of the peculiar arrangement of the funnels - two behind the military mast forward and the other two a long way aft. Le Montcalm français de Navire De Guerre dans 1902 Construit à La Seyne, le Montcalm était un croiseur blindé d'une vue un peu particulière. Elle a appartenu à un groupe de trois et a déplacé 9.517 tonnes. Au centre du navire elle avait une ceinture de 6 dans d'acier de nickel de Harveyised, qui a effilé aux fins, mais elle avait l'autre armure au-dessus de lui et en avant. Elle deux 7,6 dans les fusils étaient bien protégés, elle a porté aussi huit 6,4 les fusils qui étaient aussi derrière l'armure. Elle avait 20 chaudières de Normand, et était capable d'une vitesse de 21 noeuds. C'était facile à reconnaître cette classe à cause de l'arrangement particulier des entonnoirs - deux derrière l'avant de mât militaire et l'autre deux très loin arrière.
