The '''''Cyclops''-class monitor''' was a group of four [[ironclad warship|ironclad]] [[breastwork monitor]]s built for the [[Royal Navy]] during the 1870s. They were slightly modified versions of the {{sclass-|Cerberus|monitor|3|warship}}s. The ships were ordered to satisfy demands for local defence during the war scare of 1870, but the pace of construction slowed down tremendously as the perceived threat of war declined. The ''Cyclops''-class monitors spent most of their careers in [[Wikt:mothball|reserve]] and were finally sold off in 1903.
