Portuguese cruiser Dom Carlos I

Dom Carlos I, renamed NRP Almirante Reis in 1910, was a protected cruiser of the Portuguese Navy and the only ship of her type. She was ordered in January 1897 from the Armstrong Whitworth shipyard at Elswick as part of a naval strengthening programme announced by royal decree in 1890, and she was a typical example of the Elswick cruisers built for export, modelled on the Yoshino built earlier for Japan. She displaced 4,186 tons, carried four 152 millimetre and eight 120 millimetre guns, and her steam engines gave a speed of 22 knots. She was launched on 5 May 1898 and completed the following year, and she was the largest ship of the Portuguese Navy of her time. She performed representative duties and took part in the revolution of 5 October 1910. Worn boilers led to her withdrawal from active service during the First World War, and she was struck from the fleet list in 1925.
