Saigon was a Palestro-class ironclad floating battery built for the French Navy after the Crimean War of 1854–1855. Completed in 1862, she was placed in reserve shortly afterward. The ship caught fire and sank in 1863, but was salvaged and repaired. Saigon was briefly commissioned during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871 before she was hulked in 1871.
