Armoured Cruiser Class
*
Summary
Faster than a true battleship but with less firepower and armour. Pre HMS Dreadnought.
Details
Armoured cruisers have belt and deck armour type unlike protected cruisers which have only deck armour. Some early second class battleship classes would probably have been considered to be armoured cruisers but for the absense of deck armour.
