The British Royal Navy's pre-dreadnought 'Admiral-class battleships' of the 1880s followed the pattern of the ''Devastation'' class in having the main armament on centre-line mounts with the superstructure in between. This pattern was followed by most following British designs until HMS ''Dreadnought'' in 1906.
They were known as the Admiral-class because they were all named after British admirals with the exception of HMS ''Camperdown''.
