HMS Gorgon was the first ship commissioned of the four {{sclass-|Cyclops|monitor|0}} breastwork monitors built for the Royal Navy during the 1870s.

Design and description

The Cyclops-class ships were modified versions of the Cerberus class.^[1] The ships had a length between perpendiculars of {{convert|225|ft|m|1}}, a beam of {{convert|45|ft|m|1}}, and a draught of {{convert|16|ft|3|in|m}} at deep load. They displaced {{convert|3480|LT|t}}. Their crew consisted of 156 officers and men.^[2] Gorgon had two 4-cylinder horizontal direct-acting steam engine, each driving a single propeller shaft. The engines produced a total of {{convert|1670|ihp|lk=in}} during the ship's sea trials which gave her a maximum speed of {{convert|11|kn|lk=in}}. They carried {{convert|250|LT|t}} of coal,^[3] enough to steam {{convert|3000|nmi|lk=in}} at {{convert|10|kn}}.^[4]

The ships mounted four 10-inch rifled muzzle-loading guns in twin-gun turrets fore and aft of the superstructure. The guns could fire both solid shot and explosive shells.^[5] They were mounted on carriages that used hydraulic jacks to elevate and depress the guns.^[1]

The Cyclops class had a complete waterline belt of wrought iron that was {{convert|8|in|mm|0}} thick amidships and thinned to {{convert|6|in|mm|0}} at the ends. The superstructure and conning tower was fully armoured, the reason it was called a breastwork, with {{convert|8|-|9|in|mm|0}} of wrought iron. The gun turrets had 10 inches on their faces and 9 inches on the sides and rear. All of the vertical armour was backed by {{convert|9|-|11|in|0}} of teak. The decks were {{convert|1.5|in|1}} thick.^[6]

Construction and career

Together with her sister ships, the Cyclops and the Hecate, she was placed on the non-effective list of ships in January 1902.^[7] She was sold for scrap the following year.
