The hull had a double bottom and was subdivided into 261 watertight compartments. The crew numbered about 741 officers and ratings , although this increased to 849 when serving as a flagship . The ships were powered by two Humphrys Tennant vertical triple-expansion steam engines , each driving one propeller, using steam generated by 25 Belleville boilers . The engines were rated at 14,500 indicated horsepower (10,800 kW ), using forced draught , and designed to reach

The first city in Nara was only established in 1898 when Nara Town from Soekami District was made district-independent to become Nara City (see List of mergers in Nara Prefecture and List of mergers in Osaka Prefecture ). The economic dependency to Osaka even characterizes today's Nara Prefecture, for many inhabitants commute to Osaka to work or study there. Nara Prefecture

The flat portion of the deck armour was 2.5 inches (64 mm) thick and four inches thick where it sloped down to the bottom of the armour belt. This significantly improved the ships' protection as any shell that penetrated their vertical armour also had to penetrate the sloping deck before it could reach

Ancient capitals of Japan were built on the land of Nara, namely Asuka-kyō , Fujiwara-kyō (694–710) and Heijō-kyō (most of 710–784).
