context: Armored cruiser - a class of cruisers that existed in the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries. They were the second most powerful class of warships of leading fleets after armadillos. The most characteristic feature of armored cruisers was the waterline armored belt. As a rule, they were inferior to armadillos in firepower and security, but they exceeded in speed and range [1]. The ships of this class were entrusted with the task of fighting on communications, conducting squad reconnaissance, and at the last stage of development they still had to make up the fleet wing of the main forces of the fleet. The development of armored cruisers ceased before the First World War due to radical changes in naval technology. Their role passed to the linear and heavy cruisers.
