An item referred to the magazine Naval and Military Record reporting that the four new Austrian warships were to be fitted out with triple gun turrets with a range of 300 degrees. The thickness of the belt with a height of 4,6-4,9 metres was to be in the middle 28cm and at the ends 12,5cm. Both funnels were located before the centre of the ship and had an armoured foot. Behind the funnels was a single pale mast. All useless superstructures were avoided.
