Description: As a naval power in South America, its actual strength once dominated the Americas, and even exhibited gunboat diplomacy towards the United States. In the mid-19th century, Chile, which had no threat of war, began trading old ships to buy new ones, offering high prices to countries in urgent need of warships for their existing warships. This not only allows us to use the money from selling warships to update our country's warships, but also has the opportunity to make a big profit. So, during the First Sino Japanese War, the Chilean Navy was willing to sell seven warships to the Qing court. These seven warships are respectively "Brangu Nkarada", "Prad", "Kondel", "Linze", "Esmeralda", "Eladores", and "Pingdu". The most eye-catching of the seven ships is the "Bullard", which belongs to the first-class armored ship and was the advanced armored ship of the Chilean Navy at that time. It was built by the French La Seyne shipyard and launched on December 20, 1890. The ship has a tall and beautiful appearance, a displacement of 6901 tons, and a length of 99.97 meters, surpassing China's "Dingyuan" class armored ship. The ship is 18.49 meters wide, with a draft of 6.96 meters. The power system uses two triple expansion reciprocating steam engines and is equipped with five coal-fired boilers, With a power of 12000 horsepower and a speed of 18.3 knots, it is close to the "Zhiyuan" class cruiser, with a coal tank capacity of 400 tons and a maximum capacity of 1100 tons. The "Bullard" warship adopts an armored fortress protection style, with a waterline armor thickness of 11.8-7.8 inches, a 2-inch gun cover, an exposed turret armor thickness of 10.8-8 inches, and a command tower armor thickness of 10.5 inches. The main guns were equipped with four 9.4-inch, 35x caliber French Ghanaian guns, arranged in a way that deviates from the bow to enemy mentality and instead considers balanced firepower. Two of them were installed at the bow and stern of the warship, while the other two were arranged in the ear sockets on both sides of the warship. To enhance the firepower density, in conjunction with four main guns, eight 4.7-inch 45 caliber rapid fire guns, as well as six 57mm Hakikus single barrel rapid fire guns, four 47mm Hakikus rapid fire guns, and ten Hakikus 25mm rapid fire guns were installed nearby. In addition, the warship is equipped with one 18 inch torpedo launch tube at the bow, stern, and both sides.
