Protected cruiser

Protected cruisers, a type of cruiser of the late 19th century, took their name from the armored deck, which protected vital machine-spaces from fragments released by explosive shells. Protected cruisers lacked a belt of armour along the sides, in contrast to armored cruisers which carried both deck and belt armour.
