NMS Elisabeta

Marine Vehicles

NMS Elisabeta was a small protected cruiser built for the Romanian Navy in the 1880s by Armstrong in Britain, because Romania could not build the ship itself. Ordered in May 1887 and designed by Philip Watts, she was laid down at Elswick on 17 May 1887 as yard number 517, launched on 29 December and completed after trials in September 1888, then sailed for Romania at the end of October. She was 240 feet long, carried four 15 centimetre Krupp guns and four torpedo tubes, and had two vertical triple expansion steam engines for a trial speed of 18.3 knots. She served mainly as a training ship, represented Romania at the opening of the Kiel Canal in 1895, was partially disarmed in the First World War, served as a barracks ship and was scrapped in 1926.
