French ironclad La Galissonnière -  La Galissonnière was lead ship of a class of wooden-hulled armored corvettes built for the French Navy during the 1870s. She was named after the victor of the Battle of Minorca in 1756 Marquis de la Galissonnière. She bombarded Sfax in 1881 as part of the French occupation of Tunisia and was present in Alexandria shortly before the British bombarded it before the beginning of the 1882 Anglo-Egyptian War. The ship participated in a number of battles during the Sino-French War of 1884–85.
