An Entity of Type: Protected cruiser, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Friant class comprised three protected cruisers of the French Navy built in the early 1890s; the three ships were Friant, Bugeaud, and Chasseloup-Laubat. They were ordered as part of a naval construction program directed at France's rivals, Italy and Germany, particularly after Italy made progress in modernizing its own fleet. The plan was also intended to remedy a deficiency in cruisers that had been revealed during training exercises in the 1880s. As such, the Friant-class cruisers were intended to operate as fleet scouts and in the French colonial empire. The ships were armed with a main battery of six 164 mm (6.5 in) guns supported by four 100 mm (3.9 in) guns and they had a top speed of 18.7 knots (34.6 km/h; 21.5 mph).

  • The Friant class comprised three protected cruisers of the French Navy built in the early 1890s; the three ships were Friant, Bugeaud, and Chasseloup-Laubat. They were ordered as part of a naval construction program directed at France's rivals, Italy and Germany, particularly after Italy made progress in modernizing its own fleet. The plan was also intended to remedy a deficiency in cruisers that had been revealed during training exercises in the 1880s. As such, the Friant-class cruisers were intended to operate as fleet scouts and in the French colonial empire. The ships were armed with a main battery of six 164 mm (6.5 in) guns supported by four 100 mm (3.9 in) guns and they had a top speed of 18.7 knots (34.6 km/h; 21.5 mph). Friant and Chasseloup-Laubaut initially served with the Northern Squadron, while Bugeaud operated in the cruiser force of the Mediterranean Squadron, France's main battle fleet. Bugeaud became the flagship of the Levant Division in 1898, which operated as part of the International Squadron that intervened in the Cretan Revolt of 1897–1898. All three members of the class were sent to East Asia in response to the Boxer Uprising in Qing China by 1901, and they remained in the region through the mid-1900s. Bugeaud was badly worn out by her time in the Far East, and she was sold for scrap in 1907. That year, Chasseloup-Laubat visited the United States during the Jamestown Exposition. Chasseloup-Laubat was reduced to a storage hulk in 1911, but Friant remained in active service through the start of World War I in August 1914. She operated with cruiser squadrons patrolling for German commerce raiders early in the war and was later sent to patrol the formerly-German colony of Kamerun. Chasseloup-Laubat was converted into a distilling ship to support the main French fleet at Corfu while Friant ended the war having been rebuilt into a repair ship. The latter vessel was sold for scrap in 1920, while Chasseloup-Laubat ultimately foundered in 1926 after having been abandoned in the bay of Nouadhibou, French Mauritania. (en)

  • La classe Friant era costituita da tre incrociatori protetti della Marine nationale francese, costruiti per compiti essenzialmente coloniali, ma non per questo privi di interesse tecnico e operativo. Il loro progetto, elaborato nel tardo XIX secolo, prevedeva un aspetto volutamente combattivo e minaccioso, così che essi, anziché sembrare quelle unità leggere che erano, somigliavano piuttosto a delle piccole corazzate. Il disegno prevedeva uno sperone di prua esageratamente pronunciato, una poppa a bulbo, con un rigonfiamento notevole che aumentava la lunghezza dello scafo rispetto al ponte di coperta, fiancate larghe e rigonfie verso il basso, con un rapporto lunghezza-larghezza più simile ad una nave da battaglia che ad un incrociatore. Dal momento che essi erano navi destinate ai caldi climi tropicali tutto lo scafo era riccamente fornito di portelli rettangolari, piuttosto dei più piccoli oblò. Il ponte, invece, era di semplice disegno, continuo da prua a poppa, con poche sovrastrutture al di fuori della plancia e una struttura analoga, addirittura più grande a poppa, ed entrambi questi blocchi avevano alberi tubolari piuttosto alti. Non mancavano 3 coppie di lance, 2 dei cannoni principali e i 4 secondari, ed infine i 3 fumaioli, bassi e armoniosi, nella parte centro-anteriore della nave. L'apparato propulsivo verteva su motrici a vapore, dalla non impressionante potenza di 9500hp. La corazzatura era piuttosto cospicua, con un ponte protetto da 30mm, che diventavano 80 nei punti in cui esso si inarcava, sopra la sala delle ingombranti macchine alternative. Altre corazze leggere erano presenti sulle postazioni dei pezzi d'artigliaria. L'armamento era molto potente, con 6 cannoni da 164/30mm, 1 a prua, 1 a poppa, 4 su barabette laterali ad ampio campo di tiro, mentre i 4 cannoni da 100 erano sul ponte, 2 a prua e 2 a poppa. I 10 cannoni da 47mm previsti non trovarono applicazione pratica, tranne che alcuni — e solo per poco — sulla capoclasse, per motivi di stabilità, ciò che forse era la principale pecca del progetto: nei mari tropicali non vi è dubbio che i pirati necessitavano di attenzioni, e cannoni leggeri di questo tipo erano molto più utili che non le armi più pesanti, per tenerli a bada. Oltretutto, sullo scafo i vari portelli erano teoricamente un facile accesso per eventuali malintenzionati, agevolati anche dallo scafo rigonfio verso il basso.Ma tutto questo si è rivelato solo teorico. I Friant, ottime navi coloniali, non subirono mai abbordaggi. I nomi erano altisonanti almeno quanto agguerrite le navi: Chasseloup-Laubat, Bougead e Friant. Altre 3 unità, leggermente modificate vennero varate successivamente ed erano Cassard, Du Cahyla e d'Assas. Tutte queste navi operarono durante l'intera guerra del 1914-18, viaggiando dai Dardanelli alle Antille, all'Oceano Indiano. (it)
