Historical information
The "Odin" armour-plated ship, named after the supreme god of the German-Scandinavian mythology, was laid down on the naval shipyard in Copenhagen in 1871.
Its main calibre consisted of four distant-charger 254-mm Armstrong’s guns; it had a full armoured belt along the waterline with the thickness of 102-303 mm and the 178-mm of armouring of the battery. The deck had an armour of 26 mm, the control post — 142 mm.
In 1899–1900 the ship had a serious upgrading with the change of guns for the breech-loading guns and the change of the form of the casemate. In June, 1912, the "Odin" was de-listed from the Fleet-list and disassembled in the Netherlands.
