damn that thing had a 15in. smoothbore gun and an 8in. gun on each turret.. eventually was sold to France where it was put in service on coastal defense, but was never called into action there.. basically a floating gun emplacement, not really a naval warship..
How did they sail it to France? Surely that thing isn't seaworthy
Towed it!
honestly would love to see a short documentary on just that voyage
And it ... didn't capsize? Lmao
must have been an adventure
