SMS Gazelle was an Arcona-class screw-driven frigate of the Prussian Navy built in the 1850s. The class comprised five ships, and were the first major steam-powered warships ordered for the Prussian Navy. The ships were ordered as part of a major construction program to strengthen the nascent Prussian fleet, under the direction of Prince Adalbert, and were intended to provide defense against the Royal Danish Navy. Gazelle was armed with a battery of twenty-six guns, and was capable of steaming at a speed of 12 knots. Gazelle was laid down in 1855, launched in 1859, and commissioned in 1862.
