	Protected cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Protected cruisers were a type of naval cruiser of the late 19th century.
		Protected cruisers appeared about 1880 and disappeared about 1910, when countries started to build light cruisers, with armored sides and decks instead.
		The first protected cruiser of the "New Navy" was the USS Atlanta, launched in October 1884, soon followed by the Boston in December, and Chicago a year later.

	Armored cruiser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The armored cruiser was a naval cruiser protected by armor on its sides as well as on the decks and gun positions.
		Armored cruisers were the chief combatants in two naval battles: the Battle of Ulsan in the Russo-Japanese War, and the Battle of Coronel in World War I, and played important supporting roles in other battles of the period.
		The last armored cruisers were built around 1910, after technological developments allowed the type to evolve alongside battleships by including a uniform main gun armament and increasing their speeds.

	ironcladpirate: Battle of Yalu Sino-Japanese War
		The flagship and two other French-built cruisers each had a single heavy gun--mounted to the front or to the rear depending on the ship--but were otherwise just protected cruisers, not battleships.
		These ships and many of the supporting cruisers could fire most oif their main guns straight ahead, and the Chinese used a formation that took advantage of this (some have compared it to the Austrian formation that opened the battle of Lissa, the previous ironclad fleet engagement).
		It is generally said that the crews of the Chinese ships fought bravely, and were let down by their leadership--one widely reported example being the captain of the protected cruiser Tsi Yuen, who turned his ship around early in the battle and fled for home--ramming another Chinese ship along the way.

		At the same time, several larger protected cruisers were also given new numbers in the same series.
		However these were simply a continuation of the same ships' previous light cruiser numbers and were not part of the earlier "ACR"/CA series, which became extinct with the scuttling of the old USS Rochester (CA-2) on Christmas Eve 1941, soon after the outbreak of the Pacific War.

		Certainly, her 12in inclined belt offered good protection by the standards of the time, but a lot of her total tonnage of armor (which amounted to 33.6% of her hull weight) was wasted in inconsequential places.
		Also, her protection at short and medium ranges was still sufficient, and it was simply hoped that she would not take any long range hits in vital places (note the comment in the introduction about the affinity of enemy shells for weak spots).
