Vengeur
From Warlike
Vengeur was the second of two Tempête-class ironclad coastal defence ships served in the French Navy in the nineteenth century. Launched in 1878, the vessel was armed with two 340 mm (13 in) mounted in a single turret that was protected with armor that was 300 mm (11.8 in) thick as well as having an armored Belt between 250 and 340 mm thick. The ship had a generally uneventful career, spending most of her career in reserve, except a year as part of the Escadre d'evolutions between 1884 and 1885, where she served alongside the faster and deeper-draft ironclad Tonnerre, and 1889, where she participated in a military exercise, successfully defending Cherbourg alongside fellow ironclad Tonnant. In 1906, the ship was struck and sold to be broken up.
