SMS Saida was a screw corvette built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the 1870s. She was the only member of her class.
Design
Saida was 79.44 m (260 ft 8 in) long overall, with a beam of 13.14 m (43 ft 1 in) and a draft of 5.83 m (19 ft 2 in) normally, which increased to 6.11 m (20 ft 1 in) at full load. The ship had a displacement of 2,662 long tons (2,705 t). Her crew varied over the course of her career, ranging from 333 to 359 officers and enlisted sailors.
The ship was powered by a single 2-cylinder, horizontal 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 amidships, between the fore- and main mast. The propulsion system was capable of generating 1,790 indicated horsepower (1,330 kW), for a top speed of 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph). The ship was fitted with a three-masted sailing rig to supplement the steam engine on long voyages.
