Carlos V, a 9090-ton cruiser, was launched at Cadiz, Spain, in March 1895. Her original name was shortened prior to the ship's completion in 1898. During the Spanish-American War, she was originally held in home waters and then served as a unit of the Philippines relief expedition that was recalled in July 1898 after reaching the Red Sea. She remained in service after the war and was discarded in 1933.
