Note
Full title: The "San Francisco." The "San Francisco" is an unarmored cruiser of 4,098 tons' displacement, and has engines 9,913 indicated horse-power, enabling her to steam 19.5 knots an hour. Her dimensions are: length, 310 ft.; breadth, 49.2 ft.; mean draft 18.8 ft. She carries a main battery of twelve 6-inch rifles and a secondary one of fifteen rapid-fire guns of small caliber. Thus she would possess as high efficiency as a "commerce-destroyer." The "San Francisco"'s keel was laid in 1888, and her total cost was $1,428,000. Her complement of officers and men is 33 and 350 respectively.
