Designed in 1881, the Dingyuan was an "armoured turret ship" design. She was recognized as one of the most advanced battleships of her time, as good as or better than any ship in the fleets of Great Britain and Germany when she was built. She measured 94.5 metres long (298ft, 5in) and 18.4 metres wide (60ft, 4in) and drew 5.94 metres (19 ft, 6 in) of water. She was protected by an armoured belt 30-centimeters (1ft) thick. Experts say that the ship was resistant to the firepower available at the time.
The ship was scuttled after an engagement with the Japanese in 1895.
