Alma class ironclads

[edit]

This GTC concerns a class of seven French armored corvettes, designed as second-class ironclads suitable for foreign deployments. Despite this several participated in the ineffectual French attempt to blockade the Prussian coast during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, but a number of ships participated in French colonial advantures in Tunisia, Vietnam, and China during the 1880s.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:53, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
