Project history: Low freeboard, single turret monitors of United States type. The two built at Seraing were sent to Russia in sections and assembled. The hull form seems to have been very similar to that of the US Passaic class and the above displacement is in this case much too low and should be about 2000t.
Ship protection: The side armour extended to 1.1m below water and was 127mm increased to 229mm forward and reduced to 76mm at the lower edge. The funnel base had 203mm, and there was a protecting ring 0.4m high and 127mm thick round the base of the turret. There was no double bottom and only Perun had a 25mm armour deck, the absence of which was a serious weakness in the others. All armour was built up from 25mm plates.
Modernizations: 1878, all were armed with 1 x 2 - 229/19 obr. 1877
1890s, all: + 2 x 1 - 47/40 Hotchkiss, 2 x 5 - 37/17 Hotchkiss
Naval service: No significant events.
