Troude-class protected cruiser

Troude was a protected cruiser of the French Navy, named in honour of Amable Troude.

After her trials in 1891, Troude was sent to the Middle East, replacing Seygnelay at the station of the Levant.

In 1901, she had a major refit in Rochefort. In January 1906, she was sent to Haiti to protect French nationals during unrest in Port-au-Prince.
