Roughly sketched after the British "Collingwood-class" ocgf the same year. the "Fininsh Elephant" as she is known in the fleet

Would they have torpedo tubes on battleships in 1880? The Whiteheads were still in early use from lowered cages at this time....i think.

Otherwise I guess it looks alright for the time period. I have only one book that I'm borrowing on that time period to help in Navalism. Those 14 inch guns won't have a very long range (probably 25 caliber using black powder) and I think some of these style guns, for the British at least, had problems, (of the exploding kind) but those were solved.
