SMS Laudon was the second Radetzky class of screw frigates, which were built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the 1870s.
Design
Laudon was 79.1 m (259 ft 6 in) long overall, and she had a beam of 14.33 m (47 ft 0 in) and a draft of 7 m (23 ft 0 in). The ship had a displacement of 3,956 long tons (4,019 t) at full load. Her crew numbered 450 officers and enlisted sailors.
The ship was powered by a single 2-cylinder marine steam engine that drove a screw propeller. The number and type of boilers is not known, but smoke from the boilers was vented through a single funnel located forward of amidships, between the fore- and main mast. The propulsion system was capable of generating 2,500 indicated horsepower (1,900 kW), for a top speed of 13.2 knots (24.4 km/h; 15.2 mph). The ship was fitted with a three-masted sailing rig to supplement the steam engine on long voyages.
