In the 1880s and 1890s, the French Navy built a series of protected cruisers, some 33 ships in total. The ships filled a variety of roles, and their varying designs represented the strategic and doctrinal conflicts in the French naval command at that time. The factions included those who favored a strong main fleet in French waters, those who preferred the long-range commerce raiders prescribed by the Jeune Ecole, and those who wanted a fleet based on colonial requirements. Eventually, the type was superseded in French service by more powerful armored cruisers.
