High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The La Galissonnière class ironclads were a group of wooden-hulled, armored corvettes built for the French Navy during the 1870s, meant as a heavier armed and faster version of the Alma-class ironclad. While all three ships were begun before the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, the construction of the last two ships was delayed for years. The navy took advantage of the extended construction time of the latter ships to upgrade their armament. La Galissonnière bombarded Sfax in 1881 as part of the French occupation of Tunisia. She and her half-sister Triomphante participated in a number of battles during the Sino-French War of 1884-85. Their sister Victorieuse had a much quieter career. All three ships were decommissioned in the 1890s. 3
