Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of ship launches in 1870
Commissioned naval vessels, like these early battleships, ironclads and rams, have been judged notable and kept in previous AFDs. The major ships of one of the world's major naval powers is hardly "random."   I cannot think of any exceptions. The references are in the individual articles. A "List of" is presumed to include only notable things. Lists in this series are consistent with the guideline . If you can find more naval vessels launched in 1870, add them. The references in which to look are at the bottom of the pages about the individual ships
