Any info on protected cruisers from "other" navies?
I've read somewhere (can't find the source) that other navies apart from the USN and RN had this type of ship, among them: ARA (built in Italy, I believe), French, Italian, Russian and Spanish. Can anyone expand this article including at least some of these "other" navies? Thanks and regards,

USN Protected and Peace Cruisers
This article states: "A numbered series of cruisers began with Newark (Cruiser No. 1), although Charleston (Cruiser No. 2) was the first to be launched, in July 1888, and ending with another Charleston, Cruiser No. 22, launched in 1904." With no further explanation, it might be concluded that all of these were protected cruisers. In fact, this series of ships included both protected cruisers and peace cruisers, the latter being a glorified name for a gunboat with no armor protection to speak of. Perhaps some clarification should be made... —Preceding
